Reviews

Ma's well-researched study of the everyday experiences of Chinese filmmakers in Japan-controlled Manchuria brings out the complexity of Manchurian cultural life and film culture. This valuable book is a welcome addition to the expanding literature on the cultural history of Manchuria and Japanese-occupied cinema. --Po-Shek Fu, author of Between Shanghai and Hong Kong: The Politics of Chinese Cinemas The first systematic study of the lived experiences of Chinese film workers at the Manchuria Film Association. It foregrounds human agency in surviving the political turmoil under Japanese occupation. Lucidly written, it is theoretically sophisticated and entertaining: a must-read for film scholars and general readers. --Daisy Yan Du, author of Animated Encounters: Transnational Movements of Chinese Animation, 1940s-1970s
