Dislocating China cover

This text examines representations of social "minorities" and "majorities" in art and public media, their display in popular theme parks, the invention of "folklore" and creation myths, the role of pilgrimage in constructing local identities, and the impact of globalization and economic reforms on different subaltern communities, in the process illuminating the complexity and diversity of Chinese society.

'Dru Gladney brings to bear his extensive knowledgeand ethnographic familiarity to a wider canvas [...] a compelling view of the ethno-politicallandscape in a changing China.' -Prasenjit Duara, University of Chicago
