Beyond "Innocence" focuses on music among the Amis, Taiwan's largest indigenous group. Chapter one briefly traces historical records of Taiwan's aboriginal song from early Chinese written records (220-280AD), through the Dutch and Japanese colonial periods, to the contemporary era. Shzr Ee Tan highlights the constructed nature of indigenous categories in Taiwan, in that the Amis are arguably several distinct groups of people who were placed in one group during Japanese colonial rule (p. 37). Today, the definition of "Amis" is coming unravelled as factions fight for the political recognition of smaller subgroups (p. 37). Tan deftly situates herself in the story, providing an account of her initial days of ethnographic fieldwork in contemporary Amis society.
