Taiwan's unique confluence of colonial histories, Chinese nationalism and democratization offers a tangible alternative to the status quo in mainland China, albeit one that is becoming increasing marginal with time. With this in mind, the author offers a concise introduction to the politics and culture of contemporary Taiwan, investigating the Taiwanese identity, aesthetic and its future. A guide to navigating the coming years for Taiwan and greater China, this book will be of interest to scholars, political scientists and historians. David Pendery is a scholar and journalist who has lived in Taiwan for over 20 years, where he teaches International Affairs, Taiwan Studies and various business and financial subjects in a Taiwanese context as an associate professor at the National Taiwan University of Business. 607 $aTaiwan$xHistory$y2000- 676 $a951.249 700 $aPendery$b David$01216043 801 0$bCaPaEBR 801 1$bCaPaEBR 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483558803321 996 $aTaiwan - a light in the east$92810010 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04589nam 2200877Ia 450 001 9910782710803321 005 20230912144909.0 010 $a1-282-85581-6 010 $a9786612855818 010 $a0-7735-6326-1 024 7 $a10.1515/9780773563261 035 $a(CKB)1000000000713730 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000281505 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11221694 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000281505 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10306667 035 $a(PQKB)10071742 035 $a(CaPaEBR)400410 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3331041 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10141712 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL285581 035 $a(OCoLC)929121145 035 $a(VaAlCD)20.500.12592/n9bdn7 035 $a(schport)gibson_crkn/2009-12-01/1/400410 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3331041 035 $a(DE-B1597)656195 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780773563261 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3245357 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000713730 100 $a20050502d1992 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe little slaves of the harp$b[electronic resource] $eItalian child street musicians in nineteenth-century Paris, London, and New York /$fJohn E.

While some were cruel exploiters who compelled obedience through terror and abuse - a view promoted by a few, well-publicized cases - the lot of most of these children was similar to that of child apprentices and helpers in other trades. Public reactions to the child performers were different in each city and reflected the host society's view of the influx of foreign immigrants in general. Although England, France, and the United States developed legislation in the mid-nineteenth century to deal with children in factories, they did not attempt to regulate children in street trades until later in the century because they saw the work as a form of begging. The battle to get Italian child musicians off the street dragged on for years before legislation and new work opportunities - often as onerous as or worse than street performing - directed the children into new trades. 410 0$aMcGill-Queen's studies in ethnic history. 606 $aChild labor$zFrance$zParis$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aChild labor$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aChild labor$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aStreet music$zFrance$zParis$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aStreet musicians$zFrance$zParis$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aStreet music$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aStreet musicians$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aStreet music$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aStreet musicians$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aChild musicians$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aItaly$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aChild labor$xHistory 615 0$aChild labor$xHistory 615 0$aChild labor$xHistory 615 0$aStreet music$xHistory 615 0$aStreet musicians$xHistory 615 0$aStreet music$xHistory 615 0$aStreet musicians$xHistory 615 0$aStreet music$xHistory 615 0$aStreet musicians$xHistory 615 0$aChild musicians$xHistory 676 $a362.7/99 700 $aZucchi$b John$0136237 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782710803321 996 $aThe little slaves of the harp$93703299 997 $aUNINA
