Beyond Second Generation: Who Else Am I?
Two speakers, two stories interweaving family, culture, gender, and action.
An advocacy group led by second-generation immigrants in Taiwan. We amplify the voices of immigrant youth, new residents, and new generations through dialogue, human rights, advocacy, and shared flourishing.
We are an advocacy group led primarily by second-generation immigrants in Taiwan. Our members' mothers or fathers came from Southeast Asia and Chinese-speaking countries — immigrants who came to Taiwan and put down roots.
As both Taiwanese youth and children of immigrants, we pay attention to migrant worker issues in Taiwanese society, and to the diversity of new residents and second-generation immigrant communities in Taiwan.
PTS News A PTS feature on how second-generation new residents in Taiwan are moving from discrimination and self-denial toward pride in their mothers' cultures, told through Thai-language teacher Wu Yi-Ting and "China second-generation" advocate Liu Jun-Liang.
Thinking Taiwan Forum TIYA chair Liu Chien-Ping was invited to contribute to Thinking Taiwan's "30 Years, 30 People, 30 Perspectives" series marking three decades of direct presidential elections.

Two speakers, two stories interweaving family, culture, gender, and action.
In the story of a Thai mother and Taiwanese father, Yi-Ting asks again and again. On an afternoon in Yilan, we listened to his story of being "indigenous-new-resident mixed."
Why are my grandmother and father indigenous, but I am not? Why do ethnic markers appear everywhere in daily life, yet cannot receive institutional recognition?
