Power Plays: Wayang Golek Puppet Theater Of West Java

Weingraub (music, U. of Pittsburgh), who traveled with and provided music for a puppet theater troupe among the Sudanese people of West Java, examines how meanings about identity, citizenship, and community are produced through systems of representation, particularly through theater, music, language, and discourse. The disk contains recordings of seven pieces of music discussed, and a multimedia presentation that can be used in a self-paced educational environment.
