Throughout China, spaces for religious expression and practice have been rebuilt, revived, and contrived for display by local officials hoping to cash in on tourist revenue. \u003ci\u003eFaiths on Display\u003c\/i\u003e argues, however, that the results of the state's instrumental approach toward religion are far from predictable. The volume explores the ways revived religious practices and commercial tourism development intersect in China, offering surprising insights into the contested nature of state governance in a rapidly transforming society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Oakes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442205067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442205062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Tim Oakes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065591804159,"sku":"9781442205062","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d77aa2a-855d-4f01-a12b-91a146341644.jpg?v=1768675990","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/faiths-on-display-tim-oakes-9781442205062","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
