Klappentext
Combining a diverse range of case studies with discussion between leading scholars in star studies and transnational cinema, this book analyzes stars as sites of cross-cultural contestation and the essays in this collection explore how the plasticity of stars helps disparate peoples manage the shifting ideologies of a transnational world.
FILLS A GAP: We currently don't have any titles that focus on international celebrity, so this is a welcome addition to the list
NEW PERSPECTIVE: Looks at stardom from an international perspective instead of a local or American perspective
ORIGINAL APPROACH: Uses a mix of forum-style discussion with essays defending points of view
