"""This book deserves to grace the shelves of anyone involved or interested in Taiwan studies. It asks authors of influential books on Taiwan to reflect on their work, years or in some cases decades after their publication. In doing so, we learn much about the consequential ways in which Taiwan has changed and our evolving understanding of those changes."" Jonathan Sullivan, The China Quarterly, UK"
