Yellow Music - Media Culture and Colonial Modernity in the Chinese Jazz Age

"Jones illuminates Chinese cultural and political history from an unknown angle--that of popular music and an emergent transnational mass culture. In doing so, he not only enriches our understanding of this history but also makes an original contribution."--Prasenjit Duara, author of "Rescuing History from the Nation: Questioning Narratives of Modern China"
