Taiwan's relationship with mainland China is one of the most
fraught in East Asia, a key issue in the island's domestic
politics, and a major obstacle in Sino-American relations. "Between
Assimilation and Independence" explores the roots of this conflict
in the immediate postwar period, when the Nationalist government
led by Jiang Jieshi took control of the island after fifty years of
Japanese rule. It is the first in-depth examination of how the
Nationalists consolidated their rule over Taiwan even as they
collapsed on the mainland.
During the 1945-50 period, the Taiwanese experienced disappointment
with Nationalist misrule; struggles over decolonization and the
Japanese legacy; a violent uprising and brutal government response;
and the chaos surrounding Jiang Jieshi's retreat with his
mainlander-dominated authoritarian regime. This book, based on
archival materials newly available in Taiwan and the United States,
shows how the Taiwanese sought to place the island between
independence--becoming a sovereign nation--and assimilation into
China as a province.
