11: In the Global Vanguard, with Professor James Lin
Have you ever heard of the Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center?
Professor James Lin from the University of Washington explains what this was while also sharing the backstory to his latest book. In doing so, he demonstrates how Taiwan's early development missions impacted Taiwan's own population in ways that echo through to the present.
James Lin is a historian of Taiwan and its interactions with the world in the 20th century. His book, “In the Global Vanguard: Agrarian Development and the Making of Modern Taiwan” (University of California Press 2025), examines rural reform and agricultural science in China and Taiwan from the early 20th century through the postwar era, then its subsequent re-imagining during Taiwanese development missions to Africa, Asia, and Latin America from the 1950s onward.
