Why Taiwan?
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-041-06361-2 (ISBN)
This book considers why Taiwan matters independent of the China-centric paradigm by both examining anthropological research on Taiwan as well as how to study Taiwan anthropologically, re-asserting the ontological status of Taiwan as a legitimate object of scholarly inquiry.
