Opis

The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Chinese Culture contains nearly 1,200 entries written by an international team of specialists to enable readers to explore a range of diverse and fascinating cultural subjects from prisons to rock groups, underground Christian churches to TV talk shows and radio hotlines. Experimental artists with names such as Big-Tailed Elephants and The North-Pole Group nestle between the covers alongside entries on lotteries, gay cinema, political jokes, sex shops, theme parks, New Authoritarians and Little Emperors . These, as well as more traditional subjects and biographical entries, are indexed under eighteen categories for easy thematic reference.
