Between Shanghai and Hong Kong: The Politics of Chinese Cinemas

Fu examines varieties of Chinese popular cinema in Hong Kong and Shanghai during the period 1935-50—a period of ceaseless violence in China, which led to extreme poverty and massive population displacement. Particular attention is paid to the movement of capital, people, and ideas between these cities. The author teaches history and cinema studies at the U. of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
