Historian Evan N. Dawley describes how successive waves of immigration changed Taiwan and how these diverse groups of Indigenous tribes and settlers interacted economically and culturally, creating new Taiwanese identities in the process. Over the last century, Taiwan has developed from an authoritarian state to one of the world's most vibrant democracies and advanced economies. A successful independent society, it is one whose existence remains under a shadow.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEvan N.
