{"product_id":"democracy-on-trial-ya-chung-chuang-9789629965464","title":"Democracy on Trial: Social Movements and Cultural Politics in Post-Authoritarian Taiwan","description":"Writing \"an ethnography of democracy,\" Ya-Chung Chuang masterfully describes and analyzes a multifaceted Taiwanese society. Contradicting mainstream research on political cultures, which relies heavily on survey data and statistical analysis, Ya-Chung Chuang produces an anthropologically inspired, contextually rich study using original source materials. He traces a genealogy of pivotal concepts, such as sovereignty, identity, and locality, at the heart of Taiwan's democratic discourse and relates the experience of democracy as \"a way of life\" from the viewpoints of a variety of subjects, including social movement participants, urban community members, and ethnic activists. His book explores the loaded meaning of democracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ya-Chung Chuang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9629965461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789629965464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chinese University of Hong Kong Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2014","brand":"Ya-Chung Chuang","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43941363024127,"sku":"9789629965464","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_45425ba6-9194-490a-abcb-950e0e23f70a.jpg?v=1681452483","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/democracy-on-trial-ya-chung-chuang-9789629965464","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
