{"product_id":"china-with-a-cut-jeroen-de-kloet-9789089641625","title":"China with a Cut: Globalisation, Urban Youth and Popular Music","description":"In the wake of intense globalisation and commercialisation in the 1990s, China saw the emergence of a vibrant popular culture. Drawing on sixteen years of research, Jeroen de Kloet explores the popular music industry in Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai, providing a fascinating history of its emergence and extensive audience analysis, while also exploring the effect of censorship on the music scene in China. China with a Cut pays particular attention to the dakou culture: so named after a cut nicked into the edge to render them unsellable, these illegally imported Western CDs still play most of the tracks. They also played a crucial role in the emergence of the new music and youth culture. De Kloet's impressive study demonstrates how the young Chinese cope with the rapid economic and social changes in a period of intense globalisation, and offers a unique insight into the socio-cultural and political transformations of a rising global power.Provides insight into the vibrant popular music scene of contemporary China in the context of globalisation and rapid economic and social change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeroen De Kloet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9089641629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789089641625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Jeroen De Kloet","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48659553976575,"sku":"9789089641625","price":94.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/china-with-a-cut-jeroen-de-kloet-9789089641625","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
