      abstract = {This book began as a year-long ethnography of a school in  Taiwan in 1991 then evolved more into a historical  sociology of national formation and its cultural mindset.  Cultural nationalism is a widely debated but poorly  understood process. Contrary to prevailing perceptions, the  Cold War may have given way to a more progressive open  society, but the politicization of ethnicity hardened a  more deeply entrenched cultural frame of mind. Instead of  liberating an indigenous reality, Taiwanese consciousness  has ironically polarized the political dead ends of  reunification and independence. In the final analysis, the  ethnography can serve as a paradigmatic case study for  critical cultural studies. There are clear ramifications  also for a comparative study of the cultural politics of  other Chinese speaking or Asian societies and their  histories. Allen Chun is Chair Professor in the Inter-Asia  Cultural Studies Program, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung  University, Taiwan. His interests involve cultural theory,  nation-state formation, globalization and identity. His  research focuses on Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore. His  recent books include Forget Chineseness: On the Geopolitics  of Cultural Identification (2017) and On the Geopragmatics  of Anthropological Identification (2019).},
