Recensioner i media

"Lo's study of Japanese rule in Taiwan illuminates the ways in which the Japanese fostered the development of modern Western medicine and is crucial for a broader understanding of colonialization. Lo blends insights from social movement theory, ethnic studies and critical theory to explore the 'hybid identities' among Taiwanese physicians hemmed in by scientific colonialism."-Richard Madsen, author of China's Catholics: Tragedy and Hope in an Emerging Civil Society
