It offers innovative possibilities for envisioning how intra-Asian cultural traffic of popular and consumer culture (such as TV, music, film, advertising and commodities) has produced a new mode of cross-cultural fertilisation within Asian societies, which does not merely copy Western counterparts. The book is unique in its investigation of how 'Asianness' is being exploited by Asian transnational cultural industries, and how it is enmeshed in the new relations of power in the region. The scholars contributed to this book are mostly living or working in Asia or with extensive experience in Asia.
