"Superb... Andrade brilliantly reminds us of how important the brief episode of European occupation was." -- American Historical Association
Tonio Andrade received his Ph.D. from Yale University and is associate professor of history at Emory University.
"Lively and deeply researched. An enjoyable, enlightening, and de-centering read for every student of late imperial China and of early modern empire. " -- John E. Wills Jr., University of Southern California (emeritus) "Through the prism of a single island's experiences, Andrade develops implications for the early modern world as a whole... [Brings] the complex dynamics of the period into clear focus [and] offers perceptive insights on the nature of European and Asian colonial expansion in early modern times. " -- Jerry Bentley, Journal of World History "A masterpiece. This book should interest not only scholars of Taiwan history but also those who work on European expansion, colonialism, and Chinese history. This first monograph on the early history of Taiwan will doubtless become a standard reference." -- Han Jiabao, author of Helan shidai Taiwan de jingji, tudi, yu shuiwu
