Review Quotes
David Hesmondhalgh, University of Leeds
"A stunning piece of synthetic scholarship. It’s an essential overview of the limitations of major bodies of western thought in understanding Chinese history, culture, and society, especially the ways concepts of culture and creativity have been mobilized in China over the last twenty years."
Julian Meyrick, Griffith University
"The book's scope is as remarkable as its depth. It presents an authoritative view of contemporary Chinese cultural policy and the development of the creative industries approach/agenda in China and the Asian region generally. It is a carefully crafted, fully researched analysis and assessment of a culture often treated as an object of fantasy by western intellectuals."
