Reviews

'Sara Liao shows how shanzhai is much more than faking: she rethinks what it means to be creative in today's globalised China. The book presents a sensitive and detailed account of the gendered and precarious aspirations of fashion designers, offering a timely view on a multiplicity of China Dreams' -- Jeroen de Kloet, author of 'China with a Cut: Globalisation, Urban Youth and Popular Music'
