Colonial agents worked for fifty years to make a Japanese Taiwan,
using technology, culture, statistics, trade, and modern ideologies
to remake their new territory according to evolving ideas of
Japanese empire. Since the end of the Pacific War, this project has
been remembered, imagined, nostalgized, erased, commodified,
manipulated, idealized and condemned by different sectors of
Taiwan's population. ""The volume covers a range of topics,
""including colonial-era photography, exploration, postwar
deportation, sport, film, media, economic planning, contemporary
Japanese influences on Taiwanese popular culture, and recent
nostalgia for and misunderstandings about the colonial era.
"Japanese Taiwan" provides an inter-disciplinary perspective on
these related processes of colonization and decolonization,
explaining how the memories, scars and traumas of the colonial era
have been utilized during the postwar period. It provides a unique
critique of the 'Japaneseness' of the erstwhile Chinese Taiwan,
thus bringing new scholarship to bear on problems in contemporary
East Asian politics.
