The future of global democracy may hinge on a small island of 23 million people.Taiwan is more than the world's technology hub, producing over 90 percent of the globe's most advanced semiconductors. It also hosts a high-performance democracy, a vibrant civil society, and a population comfortable with religious, gender, and sexual diversity. Taiwan's education and healthcare systems command worldwide respect, and its political resilience inspires admiration across the democratic world.Yet China claims Taiwan as its own and applies relentless pressure through economic, diplomatic, and military means, stopping just short of open war. Against this backdrop, Taiwan's success as a democracy strengthens its resolve to resist coercion and inspires others to defend freedom.In Inspired by Taiwan, George S. Takach shows why Taiwan matters--to its own people and to the world--and why democracies everywhere advance their national interests when they support it. This is a call to recognize Taiwan no

Demands for redress of historical injustice are a crucial component of contemporary struggles for social and transnational justice. However, understanding when and why an unjust history matters for considerations of justice in the present is not straightforward. Alasia Nuti develops a normative framework to identify which historical injustices we should be concerned about, to conceptualise the relation between persistence and change and, thus, conceive of history as newly reproduced. Focusing on the condition of women in formally egalitarian societies, the book shows that history is important to theorise the injustice of gender inequalities and devise transformative remedies. Engaging with the activist politics of the unjust past, Nuti also demonstrates that the reproduction of an unjust history is dynamic, complex and unsettling. It generates both historical and contemporary responsibilities for redress and questions precisely those features of our order that we take for granted.

Why does historical memory exclude nineteenth-century women playwrights when hundreds worked prolifically across the spectrum of professional theatre, amateur theatricals, and publishing? What might it mean to adjust the collective focus of cultural historians and literary critics so that these women can come into view? This collection of essays, written by a team of leading scholars in the field, undertakes not simply to recover the names and careers of women playwrights but to call into question the whole idea of what a playwright is, and what she does, and why it matters. Gender inquiry is the start: destabilising the category of playwrights loosens the borders of theatre history, making it possible to reconceptualize theatre and drama not as a product of culture but as social processes dynamically interacting with culture.
