Book Description

0819194344 978-0819194343 April 26, 1994 annotated edition
This book provides a critical introduction to a large literature of anthropological and sociological works in Chinese, English, and French by American and American-trained social scientists who have conducted research on Taiwan. It is both a critical survey of what has been written about Taiwan and a contribution to the historical sociology of knowledge. All anthropological and sociological writings are annotated, along with the more important political science, psychology, and economic works. To provide readers unfamiliar with the literature a starting point, the authors have identified what they consider the best work within each topic area.

Hong and Murray have provided a useful research tool and have asked important questions. Their book deserves not only a place in research libraries, but perusal by all who are interested in the society and cultures of the Sinitic peoples.>>>> (Darnell, Regna China Information )

This is a modest classic with potential import far beyond the particular case.>>>> (Darnell, Regna )
