Reviews
"I read this book with great pleasure, interest, and excitement. Downing effectively grounds her main argument and supporting points through analysis of her rich ethnographic data. Not only am I convinced, but I felt like I was in Bali with her, meeting her consultants, hearing them speak, getting a sense of their personalities, and watching them grow and mature."--Christina Sunardi, author of Stunning Males and Powerful Females: Gender and Tradition in East Javanese Dance
"Deftly painting a close-grained landscape mixing Balinese voices and perspicuous eyewitness reflection, Downing guides us through inspiring stories of girls and women making music in millennial Bali, where few had made it before. The characters and friendships feel so alive because they are changing their world from the bottom up. Their experience of our lived moment is powerfully resonant and inspires reflection on changing gender roles far beyond Bali."--Michael Tenzer, University of British Columbia
