Peeling back layers of Cold War ideological constructs, he tells a very different story from the conventional Chinese civil war historiography that focuses on debating the reasons for Communist success and Nationalist failure. Yang lays bare the traumatic aftermath of the Chinese Communist Revolution for the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people who were forcibly displaced from their homes across the sea. Underscoring the displaced population&#8217;s trauma of living in exile and their poignant &#8216;homecomings&#8217; four decades later, he presents a multi-event trajectory of repeated traumatization with recurring searches for home, belonging, and identity. This thought-provoking study challenges established notions of trauma, memory, diaspora, and reconciliation.<\/p>\n<p>Dominic Meng-Hsuan Yang (\u694a\u5b5f\u8ed2) is an Assistant Professor of East Asian History in the Department of History at the University of Missouri-Columbia.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1601\" src=\"https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/taiwan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/12\/Yang-Poster-750x971.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"971\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/taiwan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/12\/Yang-Poster-750x971.jpg 750w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/taiwan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/12\/Yang-Poster-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/taiwan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/12\/Yang-Poster-768x994.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/taiwan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/12\/Yang-Poster-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/taiwan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/12\/Yang-Poster-375x485.jpg 375w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/taiwan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/12\/Yang-Poster-1140x1475.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This event was made possible by the generous support of the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On April 7th, 2021, the UW Taiwan Studies Program hosted Professor Dominic Meng-Hsuan Yang for a Book Talk on his recently published work,\u00a0The Great Exodus from China: Trauma, Memory, and Identity in Modern Taiwan.\u00a0This recorded talk is available for viewing on our YouTube channel.
