Description: "Young Rebels in Contemporary Chinese Cinema analyzes the construction of "youth culture" in 1980s China by examining young-rebel films in terms of three areas: products (rock 'n' roll music), belief (or lack of it), and mode of behavior. The study also contextualizes these films by tracing the relationship between changes in politics and changes in film from the 1950s to the present, with particular reference to the altered portrayal of young adults in the 1980s"--Jacket.
