Taiwan is a vibrant and dynamic society that has undergone profound changes in recent decades. These changes have included the transition to democracy, the rise of a new middle class, and the increasing integration of Taiwan into the global economy. However, Taiwan also faces a number of challenges, including income inequality, environmental degradation, and the threat of military conflict with China.

Getting By in Taiwan explores these and other issues through the lens of anthropology. The book draws on ethnographic research conducted in Taiwan over a period of several years. The author provides a rich and detailed account of the lives of ordinary Taiwanese people, and she shows how their experiences are shaped by the broader social, economic, and political context.

Getting By in Taiwan is a valuable contribution to the literature on Taiwan. The book provides a unique and insightful perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing Taiwan today.
