英文摘要

This paper works on three Taiwanese novels to explore the colonized: the characters’ writing back their own history and cultures, represented by Pang Hsin-ger’s (a Taiwanese indigenie), Pao-shih’s (a Han Taiwanese), and Chiu-yin’s (a Han Taiwanese) narration for a cultural identity in the postcolonial texts. Taiwan has been governed by the Dutch, Japanese, and Kuomingtang Government, whilst its people/ indigenies were treated as the weak, silenced, and backward “Other,” and its culture was voiced by its formal colonizers as “barbarian.” Narrative techniques like writing back and hybridity reconstruct their national consciousness; moreover, the festive of Han people, the indigenous journey quest to evoke the ethnical collective subconscious-ness to regain their ethical identity, as well as to restore self-cultural subjectivity. Past research articles mostly focused on the study of theme, such as initiation and growth, or cultural indentity and collective memory. Moreover, these three Taiwanese novels are treated as historical narration, emphasizing Taiwanese historical background like the historical : how Taiwanese people lived during the time under Formosa under the Dutch (1624-1662), the Japanese Occupation of Taiwan (1926-1945). This paper uses post-colonial criticism to read Taiwanese Young Adult Novel: employing narrative strategies of writing back to subvert the colonial-text; the colonized voicing out their own silenced-text to re-examine and reconstruct their lost history and cultures during their being colonized period.
