In the last quarter-century, the resources of China's pre-socialist
past have been rediscovered and combined with current influences to
reinvent Chinese culture. This is the first source to digest
China's vast cultural output and make it accessible to the
English-speaking world. More than 1,000 entries, written by an
inteational team of specialists, explore a diverse range of
subjects- from prisons to rock groups and underground Christian
churches to TV talk shows- while also offering biographical essays
and information on more traditional cultural topics. The book's
focus is on mainland China since 1980, but it also includes
coverage of Hong Kong and Taiwan. Entries are indexed under
eighteen categories for easy thematic browsing and include
up-to-date references for further reading.

The entries in this encyclopedia are united by the term ‘British’ but separated by the stratifications of a ‘culture’ that has never been still and always been in a state of flux.
