A new novel on Taiwan’s political activism has been published. Titled “Taipei at Daybreak,” the book tells the story of a Taiwanese American’s coming-of-age, as he drifts between social movements in the U.S., Japan, and Taiwan.
On this episode of Zoom In Zoom Out, TaiwanPlus reporter Rik Glauert sits down with author Brian Hioe, who is also an independent journalist and researcher. We first zoom in on his real-life experiences that inspired the novel, then zoom out to look at how Taiwan’s activist scene has changed in the past decade.
