Summary:

"Taiwan increasingly sees itself as a modern nation-state, not as the Chinese government in exile, as its official name "Republic of China" asserts. This attitude shift can be seen in Tsai Ing-wen's recent landslide electoral victory and the decreasing popularity in Taiwan of the One-China policy compromise that has allowed the PRC and Taiwan to coexist, albeit carefully, in the world arena for the last 30 years. In this book, A-chin Hsiau traces the origins of this current moment to the 1970s, when student movements and literary and cultural forces played a pivotal role in the renegotiation of indigenous identity and the renegotiation of the national imaginary"-- Provided by publisher.
