This is the first book-length exploration of celebrity in the People's Republic of China, it examines how international norms of celebrity production interact with those operating in China.
This excellent collection of essays on China's celebrities is at once an entertaining read and a serious study on the political economy of superstar culture. Many on the list of the famous and infamous are surprising picks, which shows the editors' fun-seeking sensibility and their nuanced understanding of Chinese pop culture. -- Jing Wang, MIT
