About this title

From the Author

A poignant and spiritual diary of Fetherling's engagement with the alluring, exotic Taiwan. The Other China unmasks the country's secrets, exploring its cultural, political, and historical landscape. Taiwan has had a turbulent history; officially "at war" with the People's Republic of China for forty years, it defiantly continues to maintain that it is the "real" China. This is a fascinating, intimate portrait of a nation at a crossroads: an ambitious, aggressively capitalist state that has become one of Asia's economic powerhouses; and a self-conscious semi-nation struggling for the world's respect in the shadow of its polar enemy, the People's Republic.
