Taiwan: Manipulation of Ideology and Struggle for Identity chronicles the turbulent relationship between Taiwan and China. This collection of essays aims to provide a critical analysis of the discourses surrounding the identity of Taiwan, its relationship with China and global debates about Taiwan's situation. Each chapter explores a unique aspect of Taiwan's situation; fundamentally exploring how identity is framed in not only Taiwanese ideology, but in relation to the rest of the world. Focusing on how language is a means to maintaining a discourse of control, Taiwan: Manipulation of Ideology and Struggle for Identity delves into how Taiwan is determining its own sense of identity and language in the twenty first century.

This book targets researchers and students in discourse analysis, Taiwan studies, Chinese studies, and other subjects in social sciences and political science, as well as intellectuals in the public sphere all over the globe who are interested in the Taiwan issue.

Industry Reviews

"Chris Shei's edited volume, Taiwan: Manipulation of Ideology and Struggle for Identity, collects 10 papers that address the ambiguities and potentials of Taiwan's identity from different perspectives. ... these chapters present well the complex nature of Taiwan's identity which entangles many different issues such as political ideology (sovereignty and political autonomy), economic benefits (e.g. the business benefits of the Chinese market), and cultural recognition ('us' vs. 'them'). ... I particularly enjoyed how every chapter incorporates the temporal dimension into its discussion and acknowledges that identity is fluid and dependent upon political changes. ... the chapters open up further opportunities for research and possible policy-related discussions."
