This book is based on anthropological fieldwork among the Bai, an
ethnic minority with a population of two million in Dali, southwest
China. It explores the religious and ethnic revival in the last two
decades against a historical background. It explains why and how
religions and ethnic identity are revived in contemporary China,
with the revived analytical concept of "alterity", which suggests a
world beyond here and now. The book focuses on the particular
institutions and ritual technologies that seek for access to the
invisible, transcendental other-both spatial and temporal. It
covers a variety of topics, including pre-modern kingship, modern
utopia, religious alterity, ethnic identity, religious
associations, the Intangible Cultural Heritage, and temple
restorations.
