Immersed in the taiko scene for twenty years, Deborah Wong has witnessed cultural and demographic changes and the exponential growth and expansion of taiko particularly in Southern California. Through her participatory ethnographic work, she reveals a complicated story embedded in memories of Japanese American internment and legacies of imperialism, Asian American identity and politics, a desire to be seen and heard, and the intersection of culture and global capitalism. Exploring the materialities of the drums, costumes, and bodies that make sound, analyzing the relationship of these to capitalist multiculturalism, and investigating the gender politics of taiko, Louder and Faster considers both the promises and pitfalls of music and performance as an antiracist practice. The result is a vivid glimpse of an Asian American presence that is both loud and fragile.American crossroads ;55.Taiko (Drum ensemble)United StatesHistoryAsian American musiciansJapanese American musiciansMusicbicsscSociety & social sciencesbicsscasian american presence.asian american taiko.bodies.costumes.cultural.drums.gender politics of taiko.japanese american internment.legacies of imperialism.music and performance as antiracist practice.originated in japan.study of asian american taiko.taiko growth in southern california.thundering athletic drumming tradition.vivid.Taiko (Drum ensemble)History.Asian American musicians.Japanese American musicians.MusicSociety & social sciences786.9089956073Wong Deborah, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut921005DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996312639103316Louder and Faster2065723UNISA
