Morris traces the game's social, ethnic, political, and cultural significance since its introduction on the island more than one hundred years ago. Introduced by the Japanese colonial government at the turn of the century, baseball was expected to "civilize" and modernize Taiwan's Han Chinese and Austronesian Aborigine populations. After World War II, the game was tolerated as a remnant of Japanese culture and then strategically employed by the ruling Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Even as it was also enthroned by Taiwanese politicians, cultural producers, and citizens as their national game. In considering baseball's cultural and historical implications, Morris deftly addresses a number of societal themes crucial to understanding modern Taiwan, the question of Chinese "reunification," and East Asia as a whole. 410 0$aAsia Pacific modern. 606 $aBaseball$zTaiwan$xHistory 606 $aBaseball players$zTaiwan$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBaseball$xHistory. 615 0$aBaseball players$xHistory. 676 $a796.357095124/9 700 $aMorris$b Andrew D$01032899 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459419103321 996 $aColonial project, national game$92451042 997 $aUNINA
