The Chinese Communist Youth League - Konstantinos Tsimonis - ebook

The Chinese state uses cultural heritage as a source of power by linking it to political and economic goals, but heritage discourse has at the same time encouraged new actors to appropriate the discourse to protect their own traditions. This book focuses on that contested nature of heritage, especially through the lens of individuals, local communities, religious groups, and heritage experts. It examines the effect of the internet on heritage-isation, as well as how that process affects different groups of people.

Centraal op deze cd staat de suzheng (harp), bespeeld door de virtuoze, in Groot Brittannië woonachtige, Xiao Ying. Ze wordt begeleid door andere traditionele instrumenten als erhu, yehu (viool), dizi (fluit) en sheng. Ze brengt een gevarieerd aanbod, van pastorale melodieën tot Kantonese muziek. Volgens de All Music Guide ‘a fine primer for an introduction to Chinese classical music, and an enjoyable listen for those already acquainted with the form as well’. Dit album kreeg 4 sterren.
