Abstract
This book originated from my PhD research ‘Pop Music Composition in China in the 1980s: An Elite Synthesis for the Mainstream’ (2011, University of Sheffield British Library EThOS: Pop song composition in China in the 1980s : an elite synthesis for the mainstream (bl.uk)). It focuses on Chinese popular music in recent historical dimensions, investigating the cultural outcomes of interactions between governmental, intellectual and popular culture in the key decade when China opened up to the rest of the world after the Cultural Revolution. Interviews and case study analysis formed its main methodologies. As one of the very few monographs on Chinese popular music, this book has received widely scholarly attention among Chinese readers and is also found in university libraries worldwide.
