Media Reviews
'This most sophisticated and provocative work weaves together intangible heritage, performance and authenticity. At the hinge of ethnic tradition and (post)modern individual consumerism, this book focusses on a leading edge of change in Chinese civilization.'[-]- Nelson Graburn, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley[-] [-]'Yujie Zhu has given us an incisively grounded account of how a centralized nation-state shapes local and minority heritage and channels it into the production of commodified sentiment.'[-]- Michael Herzfeld, Ernest E. Monrad Professor of the Social Sciences, Harvard University[-]
