Reviews

""In many ways this is a classic anthropological study that challenges more journalistic views by focusing on the fragmentary and often contradictory nature of everyday, lived experience. The book should be of interest to those studying cultural change, youth, and media in China and in other contexts."" - Lisa Hoffman, University of Washington Tacoma, USA (China Information 2013)
