Why do \u201cundiscovered tribes\u201d and \u201cdying cultures\u201d remain staples of reporting in the\u00a0National Geographic<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/em>serious works of non-fiction? While activists and scholars have been debunking stereotypical views of indigenous isolation and cultural fragility for decades, popular fascination with unblemished and pristine peoples–the folks that \u201ctime left behind\u201d–remain vibrant. Social scientists have countered these stereotypes by showing that indigenous peoples have dynamic pasts connected to global networks of exchange, production, and meaning-making. Some critics have gone so far as to suggest that indigenous peoples are recent arrivals upon the historical stage. This lecture proposes a middle path between primordialist and constructivist models of indigenous history. Based on my book-length study of Taiwan Indigenous peoples under Japanese colonial rule from 1874 to 1945, I suggest that local conceptions of continuity and persistence are corroborated by the historical record. At the same time, I argue that today\u2019s legally and culturally operative notions of indigeneity emerged in the twentieth-century, as historical concomitants of the rise of nation-states as dominant political formations.<\/p>\n

Paul D.\u00a0Barclay<\/strong>\u00a0is Professor and Head of history at Lafayette College. His interests include Taiwan, Japan, China, indigenous studies, and comparative colonialism. His most recent book\u00a0Outcasts of Empire: Japan\u2019s Rule on Taiwan\u2019s \u201cSavage Border,\u201d 1874-1945<\/em>\u00a0(University of California Press 2017) examines the causes and consequences of capitalism\u2019s failure to \u201cbatter down all Chinese walls\u201d in modern Taiwan and the creation of an Indigenous Territory, which exists to this day as a legacy of Japanese imperialism, local initiatives, and the global commodification of culture.\u00a0Barclay\u2019s research has received support from the National Endowment from the Humanities, the Social Science Research Council, the Japanese Council for the Promotion of Science, and the Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n
