“While others have written about fan nationalism and some of its specific aspects, this book is the fullest and most nuanced discussion of fan nationalism in English that I have read. The authors spell out in clear terms the mechanisms by which the Chinese government seeks to direct the energies of the fan community toward support of their national agenda... This is vital work that should be read by all of us in fandom studies.”

— Henry Jenkins, Provost's Professor, USC

“Fandom Nationalism offers a compelling analysis of performative patriotism and collective mobilization, enriching our understanding of the politics of pop culture.”
