The contributors gathered here revitalize "ethnographic performance"-the performed recreation of ethnographic subject matter pioneered by Victor and Edith Turner and Richard Schechner-as a progressive pedagogy for the 21st century. They draw on their experiences in utilizing performances in a classroom setting to facilitate learning about the diversity of culture and ways of being in the world. The editors, themselves both students of Turner at the University of Virginia, and Richard Schechner share recollections of the Turners' vision and set forth a humanistic pedagogical agenda for the future. A detailed appendix provides an implementation plan for ethnographic performances in the classroom.

Few activities bring together physicality, emotions, politics, money, and morality as dramatically as sport. In Brazil's stadiums or parks in China, on Cuba's baseball diamonds or rugby fields in Fiji, human beings test their physical limits, invest emotional energy, bet money, perform witchcraft, and ingest substances, making sport a microcosm of what life is about. The Anthropology of Sport explores not only what anthropological thinking tells us about sports, but also what sports tell us about the ways in which the sporting body is shaped by and shapes the social, cultural, political, and historical contexts in which we live. Core themes discussed in this book include the body, modernity, nationalism, the state, citizenship, transnationalism, globalization, and gender and sexuality.

Competing in the 1986 National College Games of the People's
Republic of China, Susan Brownell earned both a gold medal in the
heptathlon and fame throughout China as "the American girl who won
glory for Beijing University." Now an anthropologist, Brownell
draws on her direct experience of Chinese athletics in this
fascinating look at the culture of sports and the body in China.
One of the more problematic sport spectacles in American history
took place at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, which included
the third modern Olympic Games. Associated with the Games was a
curious event known as Anthropology Days organized by William J.
McGee and James Sullivan, at that time the leading figures in
American anthropology and sports, respectively. McGee recruited
Natives who were participating in the fair's ethnic displays to
compete in sports events, with the "scientific" goal of measuring
the physical prowess of "savages" as compared with "civilized men."
This interdisciplinary collection of essays assesses the ideas
about race, imperialism, and Western civilization manifested in the
1904 World's Fair and Olympic Games and shows how they are still
relevant.
The past two centuries have witnessed tremendous upheavals in every
aspect of Chinese culture and society. At the level of everyday
life, some of the most remarkable transformations have occurred in
the realm of gender. "Chinese Femininities/Chinese Masculinities"
is a mix of illuminating historical and ethnographic studies of
gender from the 1700s to the present.
