Moskowitz, Marc L.
Honolulu : University of Hawai'i Press, c2010.

"This work explores Mandopop's surprisingly complex cultural implications in Taiwan and the PRC, where it has established new gender roles, created a vocabulary to express individualism, and introduced transnational culture to a country that had closed its doors to the world for 20 years" --
