Reviews
"Accessible introductions add to our knowledge of cultural performance."-Journal of American Folklore, "Accessible introductions add to our knowledge of cultural performance."- Journal of American Folklore, rarris's book is a precious, unique source not only for Sibe music and poetry, but also for Sibe history, social life and folklore: it is an excellent example of how such kind of research should be carried out, and the author deserves the gratitude of all those interested in this very special and seldomly studied subject., Dr Harris's book represents a valuable contribution not merely to ethnomusicology, but also to research on shamanism in general., ...a wonderful book. I strongly recommend it to scholars in Chinese music, Chinese studies, ethnomusicolog, anthropology , and those interested in the study of minority groups.

Synopsis
The Sibe are an immigrant group, Qing dynasty bannermen who made a three-year "long march" from Manchuria in the 18th century to serve as a border garrison in the newly conquered Western Regions of the Qing Chinese empire. They preserved their military structure and a discrete identity in the multi-ethnic region of Xinjiang and are now officially recognised as an ethnic minority nationality under the People's Republic. They are known in China today as the last speakers of the Manchu language, and as preservers of their ancient traditions. This study of their music culture reveals not fossilised tradition but a shifting web of borrowings, assimilation and retention. Singing the Village is a readable, anthropologically interesting and musically informed account of culture and performance in the Chinese region of Xinjiang. The book approaches musical and ritual life in this ethnically diverse region through an understanding of society in terms of negotiation, practice and performance. It explores the relations between shamanism, song and notions of externality and danger, bringing recent theories on shamanism to bear on questions of the structural and affective powers of ritual music. It focuses on the historical demands of identity, boundary maintenance and creation among the Sibe, and on the role of musical performance in maintaining popular memory, and it discusses the impact of state policies of the Chinese Communist Party on village musical and ritual life. Singing the Village draws on a wide range of Chinese, Sibe-Manchu language sources, and oral sources including musical recordings and interviews gathered in the course of fieldwork in Xinjiang. It includes musical transcriptions, glossaries of Sibe-Manchu and Chinese terms, and is accompanied by a free CD which includes 30 original field recordings., The Sibe are an immigrant group, Qing dynasty bannermen who made a three-year "long march" from Manchuria in the 18th century to serve as a border garrison in the newly conquered Western Regions of the Qing Chinese empire.

Descendants of the military garrisons of Imperial China, they remember their heritage through song; and through song they communicate with their ancestors, aided by their powerful shamans. The book describes contemporary musical life in the Sibe villages, and discusses the impact of fifty years of Communism on their unique culture. Samples of the music appear both in the book and on the free audio CD.
