Contents:
Spirit money : tourism and pilgrimage on the sacred slopes of Mount Tai / Brian R. Dott -- Alchemy of the ancestors : rituals of genealogy in the service of the nation in rural China / Tim Oakes -- Pilgrim or tourist? : the transformation of China's revolutionary holy land / Yu Luo Rioux -- Making tourists and remaking locals : religion, ethnicity, and patriotism on display in northern Sichuan / Donald S. Sutton and Xiaofei Kang -- Minzu, market, and the mandala : national exhibitionism and Tibetan Buddhist revival in post-Mao China / Charlene Makley -- Economic development and the Buddhist-industrial complex of Xishuangbanna / Susan K. McCarthy -- Naxi religion in the age of tourism : persistence and (re)creation / Charles F. McKhann -- Tourist itineraries, spatial management, and hidden temples : the revival of religious sites in a water town / Marina Svensson -- The return visits of overseas Chinese to ancestral villages in Putian, Fujian / Kenneth Dean.
Summary: By providing a unique perspective on China's changing relationship with religion, this groundbreaking book explores the role the Chinese state continues to play in religious revival today. Over the past several decades, China has experienced a rapid expansion of religious spaces and activities. More recently, a growing middle-class urban society has fueled an upsurge in Chinese domestic tourism. Faiths on Display challenges the common separation of religious and tourist activities, showing how thesepractices overlap and blend together. A group of leading scholars explores the unlikely interact.
