Reviews

This book is urgently important and deeply informed. Ahlgren models the power of intersectional interpretation, and she shows how taiko players activate intimate allyships across difference when asymmetries and ambivalences are acknowledged. I urge taiko players to read this book. * Deborah Wong, University of California-Riverside *
