Three new books in the former native speaker's library

Haven't written anything here for a few months. Unfortunately, I don't have time to write much now, either. But I got three books in the mail today that I had ordered during the University of Hawai'i Press's big sale last month, and I wanted to share the joy:

• The Minor Arts of Daily Life: Popular Culture in Taiwan, ed. David K. Jordan, Andrew D. Morris, and Marc L. Moskowitz (U of Hawai'i P, 2004)
• Refracted Modernity: Visual Culture and Identity in Colonial Taiwan, ed. Yuko Kikuchi (U or Hawai'i P, 2007)
• The Peasant Movement and Land Reform in Taiwan, 1924-1951, by Shih-shan Henry Tsai (MerwinAsia, 2015)

The first two books cost only $5 each (and the second is a richly illustrated glossy-papered hardback). The third cost $45, but a total of $55 for three academic books is not too bad in my ... ummm... book.

I've got some other books to work on first (after I finish grading, some writing projects, and any other things that come up...), but I hope to dip into them soon!
