Charting their training, travels, and performances, this innovative
study explores the role of the artists that roamed the Chinese
countryside in support of Mao's communist revolution. DeMare traces
the development of Mao's 'cultural army' from its genesis in Red
Army propaganda teams to its full development as a largely civilian
force composed of amateur and professional drama troupes in the
early years of the People's Republic of China (PRC). Drawing from
memoirs, artistic handbooks, and rare archival sources, Mao's
Cultural Army uncovers the arduous and complex process of creating
revolutionary dramas that would appeal to China's all-important
rural audiences. The Communists strived for a disciplined cultural
army to promote party policies, but audiences often shunned modern
and didactic shows, and instead clamoured for traditional works.
DeMare illustrates how drama troupes, caught between the party and
their audiences, did their best to resist the ever growing reach of
the PRC state.
