Dislocating China by Dru C Gladney

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.
