During the 1980s, China embraced TV technology more quickly and enthusiastically than any other society. It's a story often told, but little understood, until now. Huike Wen shows how television played a pivotal role in the social and cultural transformations that took place during Deng Xiaoping's decade of the four modernizations. Inspired by Lynn Spigel, Wen recovers the texture of the times to vividly explain how China 'made room for TV.', This welcome book comes in response to an uptick in research on television and modernization. The volume's first strength is its compact assessment of the subject in China. The attention to programming, not just policy, and the wider conversation about television in other media are also notable. . . .[I]n looking at how 'the tube' stood as a symbol and instrument of social change and modernity in China, Wen makes a useful contribution to studies in television history and Chinese media. She discusses what people watched and how the images on this new device in the home (and the set itself) entered and altered their lives. The new medium sat in a constellation of older media and practices of communication and culture. The disruptions caused by television therefore carried the markings of China, but readers will recognize commonalities with experience in other countries as well. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty., An interesting, enlightening, and thoughtful book on changes in China's TV programming as a mirror of the modern transformation and unprecedented evolution of the milliard people's society!

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
