Siinˇ Mungˇ Repositioning the Hakka in Contemporary Taiwan

「承蒙」，是客家人說謝謝、表示感激、誠心致意的幾種方式之一。本書以承蒙為標題，所表達的是客家族群對臺灣社會的謝意，因為，後者充沛地滋養了客家文化。展示臺灣客家文化，事實上就是試圖呈現客家文化和社會人群互動的成果，客家文化如是豐富，當係承蒙廣體臺灣長期又細膩的滋潤給養。從另外一個方面來看，客家人群作為臺灣社會的重要組成，其文化實作，特別是與周邊人群的互動往來，一起建構了島嶼國度的人文歷史特色。因此，客家臺灣、臺灣客家、客家臺灣文化及臺灣客家文化等的創詞，其意義格外深遠。 展示，作為介紹客家與臺灣的一種方式，期許如其所如的從臺灣認識客家、從客家認識臺灣。客家的源起，以及客家與臺灣相互建構過程的歷史，容或有多種解釋，我們認為，應本於學術研究的基礎，如其所如的展示。客家委員會客家文化發展中心臺灣客家文化館的新常設展，即是基於此一理念的產物。歷史客家、全球客家、常民客家、文化客家及公民客家等五個展示主題，及其相互呼應之架構的提出，源於客發中心多次諮詢會議的決定。常設展主軸即定位於客家與臺灣社會的關係，而整合起五個主題的宏觀視野，正是得以通過認識客家來認識臺灣並再造自若自信的客家。   編/著/譯者 ／ Wei-An Chang, Shih-Chung Hsieh, Jui-Chao Liu/... 出版機關 ／ 客家委員會客家文化發展中心 出版日期 ／ 2021-03 主題分類 ／ 客家事務 施政分類 ／ 客家 ＩＳＢＮ ／ 9789865434212 ＧＰＮ ／ 1011000275 頁數/張數/片數 ／ 240 裝訂 ／ 平裝 定價 ／ NT$ 350 85 折優惠價 ／ NT$ 298   Authors Wei-An Chang, Shih-Chung Hsieh, Jui-Chao Liu Published by Taiwan Hakka Culture Development Center, Hakka Affairs Council Address No.6, Tongke S.Rd.,Tongluo Township, Miaoli County 36645, Taiwan (R.O.C.)

One Crowded Moment of Glory: The Kinabalu Guerrillas and the 1943 Jesselton Uprising

Malaysia 2019 National Book AwardMalaysia 2021 National Academic Publishing Association Award Who were they fighting for? And why? On October 9, 1943, a Saturday evening, the Kinabalu Guerillas sallied forth. The plan was a surprise attack on Tuaran police station to liberate that town from the hands of the Japanese. There followed a night attack on Jesselton (Kota Kinabalu). October 12, 1943. With countless dead and injured from the guerrilla raid, the humiliated and furious Japanese swore to take full revenge. It is reported that on the way to Inanam the Japanese shot at anything that moved. In World War II, a group of young ethnic Chinese in Malaysia (primarily Hakka) organized themselves into the “Kinabalu Guerrillas,” banding together with local islanders to resist the tyrannical Japanese military occupation. On an early Autumn evening their successful surprise attack temporarily liberated Jesselton. But they also drew a swift and brutal reprisal from the Japanese army that included the imprisonment and indiscriminate killing of locals and the massacre at Petagas. After peace returned to Sabah, the colonial government in Petagas erected a war memorial and Sabah locals have long remembered the brave deeds of the Kinabalu Guerrillas, who embodied the spirit of their pursuit of freedom and of heroic struggle against a far more powerful enemy.
