The third review of my book has just been published in the journal Anthropological Quarterly, and I'm so pleased to with how Noel Salazar (U Leuven) critically engages with my work. Given Salazar's own expertise in mobility and tourism studies (his book has been an important contribution to understanding tourism labor in a globalizing industry of networks and desires), it's really exciting to see how he pushes the broader connections and comparisons that my research can, and should, create for future projects, especially, as Salazar notes, given how invested the Chinese state has become in international cultural heritage projects and recognition (such as UNESCO site designation). This was the focus of the workshop on cultural heritage politics in China that I attended in Lund, Sweden, in June and a key aspect of my new project on rural documentary media production and circulation.
