Summary:

This book examines colonial Taiwanese fiction, its translation from Japanese to Chinese, and cinematic works that portray the colonial era. It reconsiders how these texts have been framed within Chinese and Japanese literary spheres and argues for approaches that move beyond national narratives to better understand identity formation under colonial rule. Through analyses of language politics, class and gender representation, and later reflections on nostalgia and memory, the study highlights the diverse cultural positions expressed in literature and film.
