Series series 群島
台灣知識分子，如何在海的另一端找到屬於自己的認同。這本書，是台灣歷史欠缺的一片關鍵拼圖。我們對台灣的意識與定義，甚至全民該守護的價值，也許，正是這些留學生，在海的另一端締造的。台灣民主的海外支線：一段被忽略的歷史《Ｘ島嶼》是台灣第一本講述台美人經歷的書。本書系統性爬梳1960至1980年代，台灣留學生於美國參與社會運動、逐步建立台灣意識的過程。這條自美國校園延伸出的自我探詢之路，構成了台灣民主進程中一條重要卻長期被忽略的支線。美國的沉默與校園裡的監控冷戰時期，國民黨政府滲透、監控美國各大學，設置黑名單，許多學生曾受騷擾，甚至有人死因成謎。美國政府的沉默與縱容，是鄭昕筆下林孝信、黃啟明、陳玉璽與陳文成等人遭遇的背後推力。她經由深度訪談與檔案研究，揭露這段在自由民主國度的壓迫史... ...
