Contradicting mainstream research on political cultures, which relies heavily on survey data and statistical analysis, Ya-Chung Chuang produces an anthropologically inspired, contextually rich study using original source materials. He traces a genealogy of pivotal concepts, such as sovereignty, identity, and locality, at the heart of Taiwan's democratic discourse and relates the experience of democracy as "a way of life" from the viewpoints of a variety of subjects, including social movement participants, urban community members, and ethnic activists. His book explores the loaded meaning of democracy. 606 $aDemocracy$zTaiwan 606 $aSocial movements$zTaiwan 606 $aPolitics and culture$zTaiwan 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aSocial movements 615 0$aPolitics and culture 676 $a320.95124909048 700 $aChuang$b YaChung$01057479 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463547703321 996 $aDemocracy on trial$92492806 997 $aUNINA
