Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted among taiko groups in Japan, \u003ci\u003eTaiko Boom\u003c\/i\u003e explores the origins of taiko in the early postwar period and its popularization over the following decades of rapid economic growth in Japan's cities and countryside. Building on the insights of globalization studies, the book argues that taiko developed within and has come to express new forms of communal association in a Japan increasingly engaged with global cultural flows. While its popularity has created new opportunities for Japanese to participate in community life, this study also reveals how the discourses and practices of taiko drummers dramatize tensions inherent in Japanese conceptions of race, the body, gender, authenticity, and locality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThought-provoking, informative and fresh, Bender's multi-faceted ethnomusicology of \u003ci\u003etaiko\u003c\/i\u003e promises to endure as the definitive scholarship on the topic for some time to come. -E.
