Download or read book Indigenous Writers of Taiwan written by John Balcom and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2005-07-27 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few people beyond the shores of Taiwan are aware that it is home to a population of indigenous peoples who for more than fifteen thousand years have lived on the island. Over the years, through the Chinese imperial period, the Japanese occupation, and for most of the twentieth century, the indigenous peoples of Taiwan were marginalized and deprived of rights. However, with the lifting of martial law in 1987, new government policies regarding ethnic groups, and growing interest in Taiwan's aboriginal peoples, indigenous writing began to blossom. With its intense and lyrical explorations of a fading culture, indigenous writing has become an important topic of discussion in Taiwanese literary circles. This collection of indigenous literature is the first such anthology in English. In selecting the stories, essays, and poems for the anthology, the editors provide a representative sampling from each of Taiwan's nine indigenous tribes. The writers explore such themes as the decline of traditional ways of life in Taiwan's aboriginal communities, residual belief in ancestral spirits, assimilation into a society dominated by Han Chinese, and the psychological and economic encroachment of the outside world. Their writings offer previously unheard perspectives on the plight of aboriginal cultures and the experiences of Taiwanese minorities. John Balcom has included an introduction to provide the reader with background information on Taiwan's indigenous peoples. The introduction addresses the origins of Taiwan's Austronesian peoples and general information on their culture, languages, and history. A discussion of the growth and development of indigenous literature, its sociolinguistic and cultural significance, and the difficulties faced by such writers is also included.

Download or read book The Atayal written by Jacob Gardner and published by . This book was released on 2020-10 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Atayal" will introduce you to Taiwan's indigenous peoples, thought to be the genetic and linguistic ancestors of Austronesia, including Madagascar, the Philippines, Guam, Borneo, Timor, Malaysia, Indonesia, Fiji, Tonga, Solomon Islands, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Polynesia, and the Hawaiian Islands. Written by a teenager for his high school peers in Taiwan and the United States, 17 year-old Jacob A. Gardner speaks from his first-hand, personal experiences to discuss the past, present, and future of the Atayal and Taiwan's other 15 indigenous tribes. From his 4-year study of the remote mountain tribe, Jacob Gardner discovered that the Atayal have a lot to teach the word about tribal cooperation, compassion, honor, ethics, and wisdom. In seeking to understand the plight of the natives of Taiwan and America, Jacob has found relevant connections to today's most difficult challenges--the global pandemic; discrimination and systemic racism; global warming; growing economic inequality and disparity; globalism versus nationalism; China-Taiwan relations; emerging Taiwanese nationalism; America's treatment of its indigenous populations; government-sponsored genocide; issues regarding gender identity and gender expression; the growing use of propaganda and disinformation on the world stage; attacks on democracy by tactics of foreign infiltration; and Taiwan's exclusion from the United Nations and World Health Organization. With hundreds of engaging photos of his journey and original art by Tayal and Taiwanese teenagers, this book will fascinate young minds and get them thinking about their positions on controversial topics while they get to know a historically important ancient culture up close and personal.

Book excerpt: A quintessiantially American story chronicling Chinese American achievement in the face of institutionalized racism by the New York Times bestselling author of The Rape of Nanking In an epic story that spans 150 years and continues to the present day, Iris Chang tells of a people’s search for a better life—the determination of the Chinese to forge an identity and a destiny in a strange land and, often against great obstacles, to find success. She chronicles the many accomplishments in America of Chinese immigrants and their descendents: building the infrastructure of their adopted country, fighting racist and exclusionary laws and anti-Asian violence, contributing to major scientific and technological advances, expanding the literary canon, and influencing the way we think about racial and ethnic groups. Interweaving political, social, economic, and cultural history, as well as the stories of individuals, Chang offers a bracing view not only of what it means to be Chinese American, but also of what it is to be American.

Book excerpt: BEST BOOK AWARD IN FICTION BY THE ASSOCIATION FOR ASIAN AMERICAN STUDIES • A stunning, lyrical novel that tells "the story of how the Tsais, a Taiwanese family, survive the 'February 28 Incident' of 1947 and precariously navigate the decades that follow" (The New York Times). As an uprising rocks Taiwan, a young doctor in Taipei is taken from his newborn daughter by Chinese Nationalists, on charges of speaking out against the government. Although the doctor eventually returns to his family, his arrival is marked by alienation from his loved ones and paranoia among his community. Years later, this troubled past follows his youngest daughter to America, where, as a mother and a wife, she too is forced to decide between what is right and what might save her family—the same choice she witnessed her father make many years before. The story of a family and a nation grappling with the nuances of complicity and survival, Green Island raises the question: how far would you go for the ones you love?
