Routledge Research on Taiwan Series TAIWAN’S CONTEMPORARY INDIGENOUS PEOPLES Edited by Chia-yuan Huang, Daniel Davies and Dafydd Fell Taiwan’s Contemporary Indigenous Peoples This edited volume provides a complete introduction to critical issues across the field of Indigenous peoples in contemporary Taiwan, from theoretical approaches to empirical analysis. Seeking to inform wider audiences about Taiwan’s Indigenous peoples, this book brings together both leading and emerging scholars as part of an international collaborative research project, sharing broad specialisms on modern Indigenous issues in Taiwan. This is one of the first dedicated volumes in English to exam- ine contemporary Taiwan’s Indigenous peoples from such a range of disciplinary angles, following four section themes: long-term perspectives, the arts, education, and politics. Chapters offer perspectives not only from academic researchers but also from writers bearing rich practitioner and activist experience from within the Taiwanese Indigenous rights movement. Methods range from extensive fieldwork to Indigenous-directed film and literary analysis. Taiwan’s Contemporary Indigenous Peoples will prove a useful resource for students and scholars of Taiwan Studies, Indigenous Studies and Asia Pacific Studies, as well as educators designing future courses on Indigenous studies. Huang Chia-yuan is Postdoctoral Scholar at the Research Center for Humanities and Social Sciences, Academia Sinica. She received her PhD from the Department of Geography, University College London. She is part of the research project in 2017–2019 ‘Contemporary Taiwanese Indigenous Peoples’ Studies’ conducted by SOAS University of London and funded by Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines. She is also an organiser of SOAS ‘Contemporary Taiwan Indigenous Studies Lecture Series’. Her research interests include migration and transnation- alism, as well as young adults, women and labour in the context of global mobil- ity. She has authored several articles, which have been published in journals such as The China Review, Journal of Population Studies and Translocal Chinese: East Asian Perspectives. Daniel Davies is a PhD candidate at the National Sun Yat-sen University in Kaohsiung, exploring the forms of representation and articulation of multicultural Taiwan. Utilising a mixture of big-data- and community-based research meth- ods, Daniel’s research interest attempts to understand the intersection of national and local communities in the spheres of political representation, national identity, electioneering and international relations. Based in Pingtung County, Daniel has been active in community development, arts and educational programmes in col- laboration with local community associations, the Pingtung County Government and the Council of Indigenous Peoples. Dafydd Fell is Reader in Comparative Politics with special reference to Taiwan in the Department of Politics and International Studies of the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London. He is also Director of the SOAS Centre of Taiwan Studies. In 2004, he helped establish the European Association of Taiwan Studies. He has published numerous articles on political parties and electioneering in Taiwan. His first book was Party Politics in Taiwan (2005), which analysed party change in the first 15 years of multiparty competi- tion. His second book was Government and Politics in Taiwan (2011), and the second edition was published in early 2018. He co-edited Migration to and from Taiwan (2013), and his next edited volume, Social Movements in Taiwan under Ma Ying-jeou, was published in 2017. His most recent co-edited book was Taiwan Studies Revisited, published in 2019.
