Title: Japanese colonialism in Taiwan
First published: 1995
Description: Exploring the dynamics of development and dependency, this book traces the experience of Taiwan under Japanese colonial rule. Focusing on Taiwan's success, the author reassesses theories of capitalist transformation of colonial agriculture and reconceptualizes the relationship between colonial and indigenous socioeconomic and political forces.

Considering the influence of sugar on the evolution of family farms and the contradictory relationship between sugar and rice production, he explores the interplay of class forces to explain the unique experience of colonial Taiwan.
