Brown1st ed.Berkeley University of California Pressc20041 online resource (353 p.)Berkeley series in interdisciplinary studies of China ;2Description based upon print version of record.0-520-23181-3 0-520-23182-1 Includes bibliographical references and index.What's in a name? : culture, identity, and the "Taiwan problem" -- Where did the aborigines go? : reinstating plains aborigines in Taiwan's history -- "We savages didn't bind feet" : culture, colonial intervention, and long-route identity change -- "Having a wife is better than having a god" : ancestry, governmental power, and short-route identity change -- "They came with their hands tied behind their backs" : forced migrations, identity changes, and state classification in Hubei -- Theory and politics : understanding choices at the border to Han.The "one China" policy officially supported by the People's Republic of China, the United States, and other countries asserts that there is only one China and Taiwan is a part of it. The debate over whether the people of Taiwan are Chinese or independently Taiwanese is, Melissa J. Brown argues, a matter of identity: Han ethnic identity, Chinese national identity, and the relationship of both of these to the new Taiwanese identity forged in the 1990's. In a unique comparison of ethnographic and historical case studies drawn from both Taiwan and China, Brown's book shows how identity is shaped by social experience-not culture and ancestry, as is commonly claimed in political rhetoric.Berkeley series in interdisciplinary studies of China ;2.Taiwan aboriginesEthnic identityHistoryEthnicityTaiwanHistoryEthnicityChinaHistory20th centuryNationalismTaiwanHistory20th centuryNationalismChinaHistory20th centuryChinese reunification question, 1949-Tujia (Chinese people)ChinaEnshi Tujiazu Miaozu ZizhizhouEthnic identityHistory20th centuryTaiwanRelationsChinaChinaRelationsTaiwanEnshi Tujiazu Miaozu Zizhizhou (China)Ethnic relationsHistory20th centuryTaiwan aboriginesEthnic identityHistory.EthnicityHistory.EthnicityHistoryNationalismHistoryNationalismHistoryChinese reunification question, 1949-Tujia (Chinese people)Ethnic identityHistory305.89/925Brown Melissa J564673MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808414903321Is Taiwan Chinese954868UNINA
