AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of inter-ethnic relations in both the Japanese colonial period and post-World War II republican period. For each period, the author examines four external assimilating forces: the military and police; education; religious conversion; and trade. The Japanese attempted to protect the camphor trade by relocating Atayal villages and fencing off the entire region, a policy that led to the Wu She Revolt. The author concludes that the most effective force for change and political stability in both periods was trade.
