'Here we have a smart book on an important but ever changing and complex reality: Taiwanese identities.' - Jean-Pierre Cabestan, Professor in Political Science, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong
'An important ‘change of identity’ as outlined in Chapter 2 by Jolan Hsieh is that of the Plains Indigenous Peoples. Their changes, although occurring at similar stages to their settler counterparts, must be understood in their own context.' - Niki J.P. Alsford, Reader in Asia Pacific Studies, University of Central Lancashire, UK
