Abstract
This chapter will introduce Taiwan’s industrialization and proletarianization as historical backdrops to contextualize the theoretical inquiry raised in the preceding chapter. Then I review the preexisting literature in order to frame my research questions more explicitly. The final sections will describe the colonial history of sugar workers and petroleum workers.
