Reviews

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.
