Reviews

Zhou's book is an engaging and important addition to the literary of Chinese media studies. -- New Zealand Journal of Asian Studies


The explosive growth of the Internet in China has prompted pundits to proclaim that liberalization and perhaps even democratization cannot be far behind With this book Zhou Yongming inserts an important cautionary voice into that discussion. Zhou is an anthropologists by training and is at his most illuminating when summarizing the fieldwork he conducted among people involved in the production of politically serious cyber content in China. His typology of that content into officially connected or tolerated sites, and nationalist ones is compelling and very useful. -American Historical Review Zhou's book is an engaging and important addition to the literary of Chinese media studies. -- New Zealand Journal of Asian Studies
