The South China Sea has a rich and turbulent history. Today
territorial disputes in the region including China, Taiwan,
Vietnam, Philippines and Indonesia make it potentially one of the
most dangerous points of conflict in Asia and millions of people
have crossed its waters in search of safer shores. This new book
reveals the ways in which the peoples of the South China Sea region
have used dance as a means of contending with the immense
political, economic and cultural rifts that have affected their
lives. Drawing on the stories of indigenous dancers in southern
China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand,
Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, it offers unique insights into the ways
in which people have used creative movement as a means of
understanding the divisions and alienation that conflict, diaspora
and globalization have brought and as a first step towards
reclaiming their identities and their worlds."
