This concise account of Taiwan's history makes a cogent, compelling argument for the right of the Taiwanese people to declare their nation independent, if they so choose. Davison's bold stand - unprecedented from a Western author - challenges the "one China" notion advanced in the Shanghai Communique of 1972 and states unequivocally that, should independence be proclaimed it could only be taken away by force if the international community sides with contemporary might over historical right. He argues that the possible conflict could be sufficiently incendiary to induce a major military clash between the U.S., the People's Republic of China, and other major powers.

A Concise History of African America is a superbly written, insightful book that richly informs and intellectually stimulates the reader. It is a concise, fact-packed, engaging account of the history of the African American people; it is also a riveting thought piece that at several junctures challenges people to consider the idea that racist attitudes and institutions of the urban North in the 20th century have been more responsible for the current dilemmas of inner city African American life than has the legacy of slavery as such.
