    Resistance in the Era of Nationalisms: Performing Identities in Taiwan and Hong Kong, edited by Hsin-I Cheng and Hsin-i Sydney Yueh is now available at Michigan State University Press (https://msupress.org/9781611864564/resistance-in-the-era-of-nationalisms/). 

    This collection engages in a "culture-centered" approach to study cases of glocalized resistance as a communicative process. Specifically, it focuses on how people in Taiwan and Hong Kong, two post-colonial and cosmopolitan societies, strive for autonomy over their democratic ways of life. Occupying a critical stance on the margins, the local perspectives and international relations of Hong Kong and Taiwan challenge a China-centric narrative and those solely focused on the U.S.–Sino power struggle. Situating the inquires in times of rising nationalism of multiple forms, this collection includes topics ranging from rhetoric of political leaders, mis/disinformation combating strategies, language games of mass protesters on social media, to resistant performance in the street. It also includes an interview with Taiwan's Digital Minister Audrey Tang on the roles communication technologies play in resisting threats to maintaining Taiwan's democratic ways of life. This book showcases the "geocultural identity-in-the-making" of the Taiwanese and Hong Kong people and offers insights into societies under imminent threats by an aggressive neighbor.
