Book excerpt: "This book provides the most expert, up-to-date, and multidisciplinary analyses on how the contemporary media function in that is rapidly becoming the world's largest market. As the West, particularly the United States, tries to integrate China into the 'civilized world' through the extension of global capitalism, Chinese Media, Global Contexts examines how globalizing forces clash with Chinese nationalism to shape China's media discourses and ideology. Conversely, this book also asks if the media provide a site and forum for contestation between different social classes and ideologies in China."--Back cover.
