Drumming Asian America: Taiko, Performance, and Cultural Politics
Ahlgren, Angela K. (Assistant Professor of Theater History, Assistant Professor of Theater History, Bowling Green State University)
Taiko is a dynamic form of drumming that originated in 1950s Japan and inspired Japanese Americans in the 1960s. Through interviews, historical research, and the author's taiko experience, Drumming Asian America connects taiko with Asian American politics, arguing that taiko players of many identities perform Asian America on and off stage.
