Description:
Contemporary Taiwanese literature has often been neglected and misrepresented by literary historians both inside and outside of Taiwan. Chang provides a comprehensive and fluent history of late twentieth-century Taiwanese literature by placing this vibrant tradition within the contexts of a modernizing local economy, a globalizing world economy, and a postcolonial and post-Cold War world order.
Review Quotes: Literary Culture in Taiwan is an invaluable contribution to our understanding of Taiwan's literary development.--Rosemary Haddon "The China Journal"
