Informationen zum Autor Karen Kuo is an Assistant Professor of Asian Pacific American Studies in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University. Klappentext How race, gender, and sexuality were re-imagined in the interwar encounters of Asians and Americans "Kuo's book is a distinctive and important contribution to Asian diaspora and Asian American cultural studies focusing on the first half of the twentieth century. Her analysis of historical figures and filmic and literary texts deepens the increasing transnational focus in Asian American studies and also overcomes some of the limitations of US-centered scholarship. At the same time, Kuo embeds her interpretations of iconic Japanese feminists and classic Asian American texts within American cultural, historical, and political contexts, illustrating the complex inter- and intranational discursive hegemony of that period."--MELUS, September 2nd 2013 Zusammenfassung How race! gender! and sexuality were re-imagined in the interwar encounters of Asians and Americans Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction; One: 'How Yellow and White Women Are Sold: Controlling Chinese and White Female Sexuality and the Making of US Domesticity in East is West'; Two: 'Masculine Racial Formations in Younghill Kang's East Goes West: The Making of an Oriental Yankee'; Three: 'Utopias Lost and Found: Lost Horizon and the Revitalization of American Masculinity! and the National Imaginary'; Four: 'Envisioning Feminism Across the Pacific-Japanese and American Feminism and the Limits of Race in Facing Two Ways'; Conclusion Bibliography
