Harvard Studies on Taiwan

I was surfing today and ran across the Harvard Studies on Taiwan, a product of the Fairbanks Center and funded by a grant from the Benito Mussolini Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation. The Harvard Studies on Taiwan looks like it was intended to be a series but it seems to have petered out in 2000. Sadly, the 1995 and 1998 volumes are not online, and only a few papers of the 2000 volume are actually online (send them to me; I'll shoot, stuff, and mount them!). The papers on Taipei and on religion and identity politics are really quite good; the latter is full of interesting observations on the complexity of religion and identity in Taiwan. Most of the writers are well-known commentators on Taiwan.

Enjoy!
