A Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2022 China's Cultural
Revolution (1966-1976) produced propaganda music that still stirs
unease and, at times, evokes nostalgia. Lei X. Ouyang uses
selections from revolutionary songbooks to untangle the complex
interactions between memory, trauma, and generational imprinting
among those who survived the period of extremes. Interviews combine
with ethnographic fieldwork and surveys to explore both the
Cultural Revolution's effect on those who lived through it as
children and contemporary remembrance of the music created to serve
the Maoist regime. As Ouyang shows, the weaponization of music
served an ideological revolution but also revolutionized the
senses. She examines essential questions raised by this phenomenon,
including: What did the revolutionization look, sound, and feel
like? What does it take for individuals and groups to engage with
such music? And what is the impact of such an experience over time?
Perceptive and provocative, Music as Mao's Weapon is an insightful
look at the exploitation and manipulation of the arts under
authoritarianism.
