Editorial Reviews

Review

This compelling book provokes the reader to ponder the bloody violence committed in the name of the colonial state but also of the rebels. It bears witness to the difficulties encountered by survivors and later generations to tell and remember this important story. A must read. -- Klaus Mühlhahn, author of Making China Modern: From the Great Qing to Xi Jinping

This collection brilliantly interweaves two layers of meaning of the Musha Incident for Taiwan society―a horrendous historical tragedy and a haunting collective trauma. The chapters take us on a tour with divergent tracks, frequently leading to fascinating landscapes of creative imagination. The fluid, open-ended history thus conjured up reveals how our senses of reality are shaped by evolving contemporary discourses. -- Yvonne Chang, author of Modernism and the Nativist Resistance: Contemporary Chinese Fiction from Taiwan

The Musha Incident is a pathbreaking study of the last major act of armed indigenous resistance to Japanese colonial rule. By marshalling the talents of experts in history, literature, film, and music, Michael Berry provides what will become a touchstone analysis of a tragedy that has long captured public imagination. -- Ashley Esarey, coauthor of My Fight for a New Taiwan: One Woman's Journey from Prison to Power

Offering perspectives from indigenous, Han Chinese, Japanese, American, and European sources, The Musha Incident serves as a model for understanding the complexity of history and its representations. For the editor, it is not only a labor of love but also a demonstration of intellectual and moral commitment. -- Michelle Yeh, editor of Hawk of the Mind: Collected Poems of Yang Mu

The complexities, nuances, and shades of interpretation that the contributors reveal in their analyses demonstrate how egregious the Musha Incident’s previous dismissal or erasure in most general narratives of Taiwan and Japan has been. The book is bold in its innovative scope―truly interdisciplinary. -- Kirsten Ziomek ― H-Asia
