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 610 $aasia. 610 $aaustronesian aborigines. 610 $abaseball history. 610 $abaseball. 610 $achinese nationalist party. 610 $acolonial era. 610 $acolonialism. 610 $acompetition. 610 $acultural history. 610 $acultural impact. 610 $aeast asia. 610 $aeasy to read. 610 $aengaging. 610 $aethnic history. 610 $agovernment and governing. 610 $ahan chinese. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ajapanese colonialism. 610 $ajapanese culture. 610 $amodern history. 610 $amodern taiwan. 610 $anational game. 610 $apacific. 610 $apolitical history. 610 $apost war taiwan. 610 $asocial history. 610 $asports history. 610 $asports. 610 $ataiwan. 610 $ataiwanese politics. 610 $ateam sports. 610 $aworld war ii. 615 0$aBaseball$xHistory. 615 0$aBaseball players$xHistory. 676 $a796.357095124/9 700 $aMorris$b Andrew D$01704404 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815859003321 996 $aColonial project, national game$94090419 997 $aUNINA
