Gods, Ghosts, and Gangsters: Ritual Violence, Martial Arts, and Masculinity on the Margins of Chinese Society - Hardcover
Synopsis
Offers a thorough and original account of violent ritual and ritual violence in Chinese religion and society. Close-up, sensitive portrayals and the voices of ritual actors themselves―mostly working-class men, many of them members of sworn brotherhoods and gangs―link martial ritual practice to the lives and desires of men on the margins of Chinese society.
