Made in Taiwan: Studies in Popular Music serves as a comprehensive introduction to the history, sociology, and musicology of contemporary Taiwanese popular music. Each essay, written by a leading scholar of Taiwanese music, covers the major figures, styles, and social contexts of pop music in Taiwan and provides adequate context so readers understand why the figure or genre under discussion is of lasting significance. The book first presents a general description of the history and background of popular music in Taiwan, followed by essays organized into thematic sections: Trajectories, Identities, Issues, and Interactions.

Eva Tsai is Associate Professor of Mass Communication at National Taiwan Normal University. She is committed to media and cultural studies in inter-Asian, translocal contexts and has published primarily in this area. She is also an independent podcast producer. Tung-hung Ho is Associate Professor of Psychology at Fu Jen Catholic University, Taiwan. He devotes his research and social activism to all issues related to independent music culture. Miaoju Jian is Professor of Communication, National Chung Cheng University, Chiayi, Taiwan. Her extensive research and publications have covered topics from the culture and political economy of reality TV programs to indie-music scenes and DIY culture in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, and East Asia.
