Screening Asian Americans

Angebote / Angebote:

This innovative essay collection explores Asian American cinematic representations historically and socially, on and off screen, as they contribute to the definition of American character. Asian American cinema is charted in its diversity, ranging across activist, documentary, experimental, and fictional modes, and encompassing a wide range of ethnicities (Filipino, Vietnamese, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Taiwanese). Covered in the discussion are filmmakers -- Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Ang Lee, Trinh T. Minh-ha, and Wayne Wang -- and films such as The Wedding Banquet, Surname Viet Given Name Nam, and Chan is Missing.
