Religious Festivals and Ethnogenesis in Colonial Jilong<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Dr. Evan Dawley will discuss how peoples of Taiwan have shaped, and continue to hold, multiple layers of nested identities by examining the roles and contributions of popular religion to a process of Taiwanese ethnogenesis that occurred during the first half of the twentieth century, when Taiwan was ruled in succession by Japanese and Chinese colonialist regimes. He will focus on the annual Ghost Festival and the northern port of Jilong (Keelung), to explore how people with origins in Southeast China forged a new Taiwanese ethnic consciousness.<\/p>\n
