SUMMARY:[Book Talk] Ghost Nation: The Story of Taiwan and Its Struggle for Survival
DESCRIPTION:Ghost Nation is a sweeping look at Taiwan that uses the story 
 of four centuries of colonial history to provide context for the country's 
 complicated present. The book avoids both-sidesing Taiwan's political 
 status\, arguing that Taiwan is already an independent country -- a country 
 that is vital to the survival of democracies as they grapple with the 
 growing threat from authoritarianism. Ghost Nation draws upon extensive 
 interviews with the people who have shaped modern Taiwan\, including former 
 presidents Lee Teng-hui and Tsai Ing-wen\, as well as student leaders 
 involved in the Wild Lily and Sunflower protest movements. Rather than 
 approach Taiwan through the lens of China\, or the US-China rivalry\, Ghost 
 Nation centers the story of the Taiwanese people to explain this dynamic 
 and indispensable member of the global community.\n\nSpeaker:\nChris Horton 
 is a Taipei-based journalist who has reported on Taiwan for publications 
 including The New York Times\, Bloomberg News\, Nikkei Asia\, The 
 Atlantic\, and elsewhere since 2015. Prior to Taiwan\, Horton was a 
 reporter in Hong Kong for two years\, during which he covered the Umbrella 
 protests\, and in China\, where for a decade-plus he focused on the 
 ramifications of China's economic rise. \n\n\nModerators:\nAndy Sharp\,
