This book addresses the question of how Taiwanese identities have changed after the Taiwanization process which began in the 1990s. It also examines the impact of this process on cross-strait relations between Taiwan and the People's Republic of China after the return of the Kuomintang to power after 2008 and the Sunflower movement in 2014. The various contributors between them cover a range of topics including the waves of migration to Taiwan, changes of political regimes, generational differences and social movements. Taken as a whole, this book presents a nuanced picture of the patchwork of identities which exist in contemporary Taiwan.

'Here we have a smart book on an important but ever changing and complex reality: Taiwanese identities.' - Jean-Pierre Cabestan, Professor in Political Science, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong'An important 'change of identity' as outlined in Chapter 2 by Jolan Hsieh is that of the Plains Indigenous Peoples. Their changes, although occurring at similar stages to their settler counterparts, must be understood in their own context.' - Niki J.P. Alsford, Reader in Asia Pacific Studies, University of Central Lancashire, UK
