What does it mean to be young in a place ruled by one Party, during a time of intense globalisation and exposure to different cultures?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis fascinating and informative book explores the lives of Chinese youth and examines their experiences, the ways in which they are represented in the media, and their interactions with old and, especially, new media. The authors describe and analyse complex entanglements among family, school, workplace and the state, engaging with the multiplicity of Chinese youth cultures. Their case studies include, among others, the romantic fantasies articulated by pop idols in TV dramas in contrast with young students working hard for their entrance exams and dream careers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYouth Cultures in China\u003c\/em\u003e will be essential reading for students and scholars of youth culture, the sociology of youth and China studies more broadly.
