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.  Cultural
nationalism is a widely debated but poorly understood
process.  Contrary to prevailing perceptions, the Cold
War may have given way to a more progressive open society, but the
politicization of ethnicity hardened a more deeply entrenched
cultural frame of mind. Instead of liberating an indigenous
reality, Taiwanese consciousness has ironically polarized the
political dead ends of reunification and independence. Â In
the final analysis, the ethnography can serve as a paradigmatic
case study for critical cultural studies. There are clear
ramifications also for a comparative study of the cultural politics
of other Chinese speaking or Asian societies and their histories.
