Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs and Stories of the Ch'uan Miao: With 24 Plates At first the Ch'uan Miao were very reluctant to give information abou beliefs and customs. They often told me that previously they had rarely such information to Chinese or Westerners and that when they were aske gave evasive answers. But during the years of contact with these people, warm friendship grew up between us, and they helpful. Without their assistance it would have be study of their language and customs. They gave me or great and kindly teacher, and they always welcomed me to their homes. Eral times they met me with bugles and banners, later giving banquets to 8110' their friendly welcome. They permitted me to take pictures freely, gave me ti information I wanted, and helped me collect stories and songs and learn the language. Some of them sold to me, for the West China Union Universi1 Museum, beautiful embroidered garments that were heirlooms. I am Sincere and deeply grateful to my Ch'uan Miao friends for their assistance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "David Crockett Graham (1884-1961) was an American Baptist minister who went to China as a missionary in 1911. He was stationed at Siufu (Xufu) in Sichuan Province where he became acquainted with the local Chuan Miao, an ethnic group within the Miao people. Having obtained a Ph.D. in anthropology at the University of Chicago in 1927 he seriously studied their culture and folklore and collected and translated 752 songs and stories. Besides being a pioneering expert on the Chuan Miao, Graham also was an archaeologist of note and an outstanding zoological collector who assembled a huge amount of species for the Smithsonian Institution. This collection covers the same wide spectrum as the published collection and is a valuable complement. It comprises a more explicit, informative introduction, legends, mythological tales, religious chants, love and marriage songs, stories and folk-tales. The material was annotated by Wolfram Eberhard, the well-known Berkeley anthropologist"--

Download or read book Musical Minorities written by Lonán Ó Briain PhD and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Musical Minorities is the first English-language monograph on the performing arts of an ethnic minority in Vietnam. Living primarily in the northern mountains, the Hmong have strategically maintained their cultural distance from foreign invaders and encroaching state agencies for almost two centuries. They use cultural heritage as a means of maintaining a resilient community identity, one which is malleable to their everyday needs and to negotiations among themselves and with others in the vicinity. Case studies of revolutionary songs, countercultural rock, traditional vocal and instrumental styles, tourist shows, animist and Christian rituals, and light pop from the diaspora illustrate the diversity of their creative outputs. This groundbreaking study reveals how performing arts shape understandings of ethnicity and nationality in contemporary Vietnam. Based on three years of fieldwork, Lonán Ó Briain traces the circulation of organized sounds that contribute to the adaptive capacities of this diverse social group. In an original investigation of the sonic materialization of social identity, the book outlines the full multiplicity of Hmong music-making through a fascinating account of music, minorities, and the state in a post-socialist context.

Book excerpt: While official Chinese history has always been written from a centrist viewpoint, Chieftains into Ancestors describes the intersection of imperial administration and chieftain-dominated local culture in the culturally diverse southwestern region of China. Contemplating the rhetorical question of how one can begin to rewrite the story of a conquered people whose past was never transcribed in the first place, the authors combine anthropological fieldwork with historical textual analysis to build a new regional history – one that recognizes the ethnic, religious, and gendered transformations that took place in China’s nation-building process.
