| Sumario: | "On October 27, 1930, members of six indigenous tribes ambushed and killed 134 Japanese attending a sporting event at the local Musha Elementary School. The Japanese government had looked at Musha as a "model village" under their colonial policies and their response was swift and brutal, almost wiping out the Seediq tribe, which had led the uprising. Over the course of the ensuing eight decades, the Musha Incident has been repeatedly appropriated by different political regimes in Taiwan for various political purposes. Under the Japanese it was often used to attest to the "barbarity" of Taiwan's indigenous tribes; the Nationalist regime cited the uprising as proof of the Taiwanese peoples' heroism and solidarity with the Chinese in resisting the Japanese; and pro-independence groups in Taiwan have sought to use the Seediq people and their history as a means of highlighting Taiwan's unique and "authentic" cultural tradition, which stands apart from that of mainland China. This book attempts to unravel some of the complexities surrounding the Musha Incident and its legacy by bringing together contributors from a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, linguistics, history, film, literary studies, cultural studies, and oral history, to revisit the Musha Incident and its afterlife in popular culture"-- |
