About this product

Product Information

Daoism has, during the twentieth century, spread to North America and Europe, breaking out of its Chinese cultural matrix and finding a home in the world of alternative spiritualities, natural health practices, and academic scholarship. Now, this Westernized Daoism is making its way back to China, bringing the process full circle. Dream Trippers by anthropologists David Palmer and Elijah Siegler explores this moment in the globalization of Daoism: the interactions between international spiritual tourists, traditional Chinese monks, and American scholar-practitioners at the sacred Daoist mountain of Huashan, China. This is the moment when Daoism becomes truly "global." Each of the players in this global encounter constructs different, yet intersecting, visions of "authentic" Daoism. How do these encounters change the protagonists? How have their lives unfolded after their paths crossed at Huashan? In answering these questions, Palmer and Siegler show how the spiritual and religious histories of China and the West intersect, collide and interpenetrate - revealing the paradoxes and dilemmas of the search for spiritual authenticity in a globalized world.

Reviews
A fascinating, insightful, and at times quite amusing work. What makes Dream Trippers especially interesting and valuable is its acute attention to the contradictions and ambiguities of the cross-cultural history, definition, relevance, practice, and meaning of Daoism as lived today in a hyper-materialistic China and in a hyper-individualistic United States., Dream Trippers is compelling, brilliantly and simply written, and will have an important impact not only for those who seek to understand Daoism, but more widely for those who think about how contemporary cultures concretely compete to 'produce religion' as an object of interest and study.
