Dr Chen Wen-chen Memorial Square (陳文成事件紀念廣場) at National Taiwan University

Dr Chen Wen-chen was an associate professor at Carnegie Mellon University. In 1981 he returned to Taiwan. He was found dead on the campus of NTU one day after being detained for questioning by the Taiwan Garrison Command. He is believed to have been murdered for his activities supporting human rights and democracy in Taiwan while living in the USA

Testing the #academia outreach here on Mastodon. Please boost if you think you know others who might know.

I'm looking for some good light undergraduate-level books/articles in English about Taiwan under the Japanese and during the White Terror. History, culture, I would even love recommendations of short fiction if you have any.

Thanks
