Rethinking Transnational Chinese Cinemas

The Amoy-dialect film industry thrived in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia in the 1950s. This book represents the first full length, critical study of the origin, rise and decline of this industry and, in so doing, it raises a number of timely questions relating to transnationalism of Chinese culture, the Chinese Diaspora, and more generally how we study the history of national cinemas.
