Chapter 3 explores the treatment of martyrs in various exhibitionary spaces in Taiwan. KMT forms of martyrdom are on display at the Taipei Martyrs Shrine (忠烈祠‎), which commemorates soldiers and political figures who sacrificed their lives for Nationalist causes (e.g., the 1911 Revolution and the suppression of Communists in the 1940s) in a mode that resonates with Confucian forms of martyrdom and that serves as an emotional hook for the sinocentric narrative of Taiwan history. The other two spaces discussed here—the Taipei February 28 Memorial Park and Memorial Museum (二二八和平公園和紀念館‎) and the National February 28 Memorial Museum (二二八國家紀念館‎)—commemorate martyrs of a very different sort: those who died at the hands of the KMT during the February 28 Incident of 1947. These martyrs bolster a nativist view of Taiwan history and identity.

Chapter 7 concerns the National Museum of Taiwan Literature (國立台灣文學館‎) and its efforts to assert literature as a cultural foundation for a national polis. It presents a close reading of the exhibit when the museum first opened in 2003 and the 2011 revised exhibition. Like the National Museum of Taiwan History, this museum emphasizes Taiwan’s linguistic and cultural diversity, as well as its strong sense of openness and cultural tolerance.

Chapter 2 focuses on the National Museum of Taiwan History (國立台灣歷史博物館‎) opened in 2011 in the city of Tainan. The first in Taiwan dedicated to telling the story of Taiwan’s development into nationhood, the museum centers its narrative around the tropes of inclusiveness, ethnic diversity, immigration, and political pluralism. In the process, it avoids the excesses of a more radical Taiwanese nativism and presents a “consensus” view of the history of the island that de-emphasizes historical traumas, such as inter-ethnic conflict, the horrendous treatment of Taiwan’s indigenous peoples, and the February 28 Incident.

Taiwan, which was ruled by the Japanese Empire from 1895 to 1945, still remains one of the few regions whose inhabitants do not emphasize the negative aspects of the colonial period. Discussions in Taiwanese society about the problems of the historical past traditionally are represented by two issues: the question of sovereignty over the Diaoyudao/Senkaku islands and the demand from Tokyo of an apology and compensation for Taiwanese “comfort women”. Moreover, both of these problems, even if they appeared on the domestic political agenda, were never acute and did not have a significant impact on the development of traditionally close Japanese-Taiwanese relations. Questions of the historical past, as a rule, represented only one part of the larger discussions regarding the national identity of the islanders and the search for models of further development of Taiwan. All these aspects of the “Taiwanese approach” to issues related to the problematic past came into full play during the presidency of Chen Shui-bian (2000–2008). During this time, Tokyo and Taipei maintained a rather high level of political contacts and encouraged cooperation between Japan and Taiwan despite the actualization of the “comfort women” issue, which became the baseline for new discussions about the colonial past and the role of Japan in developing modern Taiwan. The article discusses the approaches of Taiwanese authorities in 2000–2008 to the interpretation of Japan’s war-time past and colonial period of Taiwan history in the context of development of relations between Tokyo and Taipei.

Abstract This article investigates how Taiwanese American writers represent Taiwan history in literary works with a focus on a female perspective as a way of reconstructing identities and repositioning Taiwan on a global scale. With the case studies of the first-generation Taiwanese American writer Joyce Huang’s Yangmei Trilogy (2001–2005) and the multiethnic second-generation writer Shawna Yang Ryan’s Green Island (2016), this article employs Shu-mei Shih’s “relational comparison” as a theoretical approach to analyze generational differences and transformative identities in these novels and argues that these authors’ writings on Taiwan history in the United States embody the transnational connection between the homeland and the host state. More importantly, by adopting similar historical materials and distinct narrative strategies, these novels demonstrate the involved multifaceted political meanings and cultural interventions by situating Taiwan in the related national, transnational and world histories and in doing so connect and compare Taiwan with other parts of the world.
