Along the way, the author brings new perspectives to broader interdisciplinary dialogues about nationalism, globalization, and cosmopolitanism.""—Adam Kielman, author of Sonic Mobilities: Producing Worlds in Southern China ""This book makes an important contribution to Chinese studies, Dunhuang studies, dance studies, ethnomusicology, ethnoarchaeology, and folklore studies. Kuang brings a wealth of knowledge stemming from long-term fieldwork conducted in relevant parts of China; close relationships established with performers, scholars, and film producers involved in this area; and a deep knowledge of relevant theories for contextualizing and interpreting this evolving tradition.""—Levi S.
