Beskrivning

This book began as a year-long ethnography of a school in Taiwan in 1991 then evolved more into a historical sociology of national formation and its cultural mindset. There are clear ramifications also for a comparative study of the cultural politics of other Chinese speaking or Asian societies and their histories.

Recensioner i media

“This fascinating book offers a powerful corrective to the lazy generalities about ‘hegemonic colonial Western modernity’ that today dominate so much anthropological and educational scholarship. … his acute analysis of education and state formation in modern Taiwan means that those who stay the course will find their effort well rewarded.” (Edward Vickers, The China Quarterly, November 3, 2023)
