Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the development of educational systems in Taiwan under three successive regimes: Dutch, Chinese, and Japanese. Before the 17th century, the Dutch established schools for the indigenous population, teaching reading, writing, and Christianity. The author gives a vivid glimpse of the cultural clashes, political struggles, and social transformations that shaped education in Taiwan during the Qing Dynasty. The book also examines the Japanese colonial government's efforts to establish a modern education system, from elementary schools to colleges. The Japanese administration aimed to assimilate the Taiwanese population into the Japanese empire through education. The author sheds light on the complex relationship between education, politics, and cultural identity in Taiwan. The book concludes that education has been used as a tool for both domination and liberation, cultural preservation, and cultural transformation.
