Transitions to Modernity in Taiwan: The Spirit of 1895 and the Cession of Formosa to Japan: Routledge Research on Taiwan Series
Autor Niki Alsforden Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 ian 2019
This book addresses the interconnectivity of these two communities, by focusing on the market town of Dadaocheng in northern Taiwan. It seeks to contextualise and examine the establishment of a ‘settler society’ as well as the creation of a sojourning British community, showing how they became a precursor of modernity and ‘middle classism’ there. By uncovering who the signatories of the petition were and what their motivation was to call upon the British consulate to bring the island under its protection, it brings into focus a remarkable period of transition not only for the history of Taiwan but also for the modern history of China. Using 1895 as a year of enquiry, it ultimately challenges the current orthodoxy that modernity in Taiwan was simply a by-product of the Japanese colonial period.
As a social and transnational history of the events that took place in Taiwan during 1895, this book will be useful for students of East Asian Studies, Modern Chinese Studies and Asian History.

Descriere
In 1895, British Consul Lionel Charles Hopkins was summoned by the governor of Taiwan, to his yamen in Taipei and was handed a petition appealing to the British government to incorporate the island into a protectorate in the wake of impending Japanese invasion. The British declined. This book investigates this pivotal moment in Taiwan’s history.
