"""This book is a strong example of how much more we can learn about Mao-era Chinese culture if we approach it less as alien due to Cold War prejudices and instead think of artists as creating under professional constraints in China just as they do everywhere."" --Jason McGrath, University of Minnesota ""Through five chosen filmmakers' creative control and their negotiation of their professional status within China's newly adopted socialist system, the author presents a compelling case that illustrates how individual filmmakers constantly adjusted themselves professionally and ideologically to survive in a fast-changing industry and a highly politicized society."" --Lin Feng, University of Leicester"
