Taiwan Since Martial Law epitomizes the reinvigoration of cultural
pluralism, which characterizes the dynamic processes of
democratized Taiwan. With the lifting of martial law in 1987,
people have awakened to their respective cultural identities and
contributed to a sociopolitical renaissance strengthening the
island's sense of national destiny and commitment to
self-determination. Nineteen chapters highlight Taiwan's social and
cultural diversity and the complexities of its politics and
economy. The preface by Bo Tedards depicts the avenues of Taiwan's
democratization with his 'trajectories' of political alternatives.
The opening chapter by the editor David Blundell traces his
personal experiences during the martial law transition and his
reflections on an emerging Taiwan "sense of place." Pro-democracy
activists organized to demand free elections, human rights, respect
for local heritages, and environmental sustainability.
