This week we have another snippet from the audiobook of John's
2020 book, Taiwan in 100 Books. This extract tells the tale of
Janet Montgomery McGovern, a feisty anthropologist who
managed to cut through the red tape and official disapproval
from Japanese colonial authorities in  Formosa during her
residence from 1916 to 1918, and headed up into the hills to
learn about Taiwan's Indigenous Peoples -- most of whom had
already given up headhunting by then. We'll also hear a
"rose-colored glasses" 1921 travel account of a very brief visit
to Taiwan by Englishman Owen Rutter. Enjoy!
