The peoples of Taiwan have been influenced by many different
cultures and migrations throughout the island's history. In the
20th and early 21st centuries especially it has been a stage for
cultural and ethnic conflict, not least because of the arrival of
mainland Chinese fleeing the Chinese Communist Revolution. The
subsequent tensions between those who see Taiwan as a natural
territory of China and those who would prefer to see it remain
independent have brought to the fore questions of what it is to be
'Taiwanese'. This book addresses the question of how Taiwanese
identities have changed after the Taiwanization process which began
in the 1990s. It also examines the impact of this process on
cross-strait relations between Taiwan and the People's Republic of
China after the return of the Kuomintang to power after 2008 and
the Sunflower movement in 2014. The various contributors between
them cover a range of topics including the waves of migration to
Taiwan, changes of political regimes, generational differences and
social movements. Taken as a whole, this book presents a nuanced
picture of the patchwork of identities which exist in contemporary
Taiwan.
