I would also mention that a legal-pluralist sensibility informed Qing and Japanese colonial rule in Taiwan, underwriting systems of control that divided the island into "normally" administered zones and those governed under various forms of "indirect" and "native" administration. While it would be incorrect to say that such an administrative regime created "majorities" and "minorities" in Taiwan, it might be incorrect to overlook its importance. Par Cassel's recent book _Grounds of Judgment_ has a nice overview of Qing legal pluralism, to add the recent growth of literature on Southwest China under Qing rule. I will certainly use the references in this post to inform my continued study of the history of Japanese-Taiwan Indigenous Peoples relations under late Qing- and Japanese imperial rule. Again, thanks!!
