棒球治台：從殖民計畫到國民運動，屬於台灣的棒球百年史

Colonial Project, National Game: A History of Baseball in Taiwan

by 毛岸俊 ...

Translated by 李宗義 ...

Series series 入魂
棒球不只是「國球」，更是一個世紀以來，權力、殖民、認同與抵抗交織的臺灣故事。棒球，曾經是統治台灣的工具。但沒有人能想到，這項被殖民者帶來的運動，最終竟會成為台灣人最重要的共同記憶之一。從1895年日本殖民統治開始，到戰後國民政府接收台灣；從嘉義農林的傳奇、紅葉少棒的崛起，到金龍少棒掀起的全民熱潮；從甲子園球場到威廉波特世界少棒賽，棒球始終不只是球場上的勝負，而是一面映照台灣百年歷史的鏡子。作者毛岸俊以跨越一世紀的史料研究指出，棒球在台灣從來不是單純的運動。對日本帝國而言，棒球是現代化教育的一部分，是培養紀律、忠誠與集體意識的殖民工程；對戰後來台的國民政府而言，棒球則成為國家宣傳與民族認同的重要載體。無論是殖民政權還是威權政府，都曾試圖透過棒球塑造人民、凝聚認同，甚至向世界展示自身的正當性。因此，《棒球治台》不只是形容棒球在台灣的普及，更點出了本書最重要的歷史視角：棒球曾被用來「治理」台灣 ...
