Theater and Martial Arts in West Sumatra describes the origin, development, and cultural background of randai and highlights two recent developments: the emergence of female performers and modern staging techniques." "This book also explores the indigenous martial arts form silek, a vital part of randai today."--BOOK JACKET.
