China, Transnational Visuality, Global Postmodernity by Sheldon H Lu

This work offers a mapping of the cultural landscape of China in the late 20th century. By focusing on Chinese cultural formations and critical discourses of the last decade of the century, the book dissects the intellectual, economic, and political contradictions of a turbulent era.
This ambitious work provides a sweeping analysis of Chinese popular culture from 1977 to the turn of the millenniumLu discusses everything from intellectual debates on the concepts of modernity and postmodernity to cinematic, artistic, and literary representations of China's social changes in the era of economic reform.-The China Review
