Austronesian Taiwan is a very useful book on the indigenous Austronesian speaking peoples of Taiwan. This is the first volume in English collating the large amount of research carried out on these groups over the past century. A great reference for anyone who would like to learn more about the rich culture and history of Taiwan’s peoples. Topics covered include archeology, linguistics, kinship, mortuary practices, glottalization of music and dance performances and theories on the dispersal of Austronesian speakers across the Pacific.
