K-Pop: Popular Music; Cultural Amnesia; and Economic Innovation in South Korea seeks at once to describe and explain the emergence of export-oriented South Korean popular music and to make sense of larger South Korean economic and cultural transformations. John Lie provides not only a history of South Korean popular musicmdash;the premodern background; Japanese colonial influence; post-Liberation American impact; and recent globalizationmdash;but also a description of K-pop as a system of economic innovation and cultural production. In doing so; he delves into the broader background of South Korea in this wonderfully informed history and analysis of a pop culture phenomenon sweeping the globe.

Great photos too!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Outstanding workBy James M. SelkirkA previous review stated the objection of just being a Canon tome. While the author does state his preference for this company; overall the book is objective in the sense that the tips (secrets) would hold true with all makes of camera. I enjoyed his concise; bullet presentation and would recommend this to all levels of photgraphers; as there is something for everyone in this book. Also; the author gets to point; without a great deal of rambling. I would (and probably will) buy more from this author.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Nice book; easy to readBy Not a size 6I bought several of his books as they were recommended on TWIP. For novice camera enthusiasts all of the books contain a ton of great info and recommendations. One little caveat is that he tends to repeat himself (incl; using same photos) between different books so the added value of buying a 2nd book by this author is something you would need to carefully balance. If you had to pick one book by him; I would recommend this book.
