Reviews
A very important book. Staging Corruption provides a significant perspective on the monumental changes that have taken place in China since the 1980s by looking at the changes in one form of popular cultural product – TV dramas about corruption. Rich in textual detail, Staging Corruption should be widely used in classes on Chinese media, Asian media, and television studies.
Yuezhi Zhao, author of Communication in China: Political Economy, Power, and Conflict:
A fascinating, engaging, and highly original book. By showing us how to read contemporary Chinese society and politics through the prism of the production and consumption of popular television dramas, Staging Corruption makes an exceptional contribution to Chinese media studies.
Guobin Yang, author of The Power of the Internet in China: Citizen Activism Online:
Staging Corruption is a probing analysis of Chinese anti-corruption television drama since the 1990s. Bai's rich and wide-ranging study not only illuminates a popular television genre but also sheds light on broader issues of governance, morality, and media censorship in contemporary China. It is the best book I have read on Chinese television culture and politics in recent years.
