Reviews

Making strategic use of the antagonistic role often played by China in the new global economy, Laikwan Pang raises fundamental questions about the hegemonic discourse of creativity as anchored in EuroAmerican traditions of rights, authorship, private property ownership, and reproduction. An admirably ambitious--and creative--book! --Rey Chow, author of Sentimental Fabulations, Contemporary Chinese Films
