Three new books in the former native speaker's library

Not much to say about these yet because I'm still buried in reading student work, last semester's "sabbatical" a distant bittersweet memory...

• Memories of the Japanese Empire: Comparison of the Colonial and Decolonisation Experiences in Taiwan and Nan’yo-gunto, ed. Yuko Mio (2023)
  
  
• The Meiji Japanese Who Made Modern Taiwan, by Toshio Watanabe (trans. Robert D. Eldridge) (2023)
  
  
• Words Like Colored Glass: The Role Of The Press In Taiwan's Democratization Process, by Daniel K Berman (1992)

This last book is outdated, and the reviews I've seen (here and here) have been mixed at best, but I wanted it to see how the author deals with Taiwan's postwar history in the context of communication studies (though he is a political scientist).
