Rezensionen

"Anthony Fung and Alice Chik have put together a fine collection. Framed by critical cultural studies, it records, celebrates, and intervenes. Engaging and enlightening, the book fills a missing gap ... illustrating how the study of popular music can illuminate social, political, and artistic dynamics, along with existential dilemmas. It makes a compelling case for placing Hong Kong central to the main streams of planetary pop, identifying the impact of significant musical dialogues with mainland China and Taiwan, creative exchanges with Japan, and the contribution of the city's people and performers to the Korean wave and K-pop."

-Keith Negus, Global Media and China

"Among the growing number of efforts to better document, analyse and account for the place of Hong Kong popular music within its local and trans-local settings, Made in Hong Kong is an extensive collection of well-researched and valuable essays that, taken both together and individually, make a vital contribution to English-language scholarship in HK popular music studies as well as to East Asian Studies more broadly."

-François Mouillot, Popular Music
