Ends of Empire : Asian American Critique and the Cold War
ISBN: 9780816655915 / Angielski / Twarda / 305 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ends of Empire examines Asian American cultural production and its challenge to the dominant understanding of American imperialism, Cold War dynamics, and race and gender formation. Jodi Kim demonstrates the degree to which Asian American literature and film critique the record of U.S. imperial violence in Asia and provides a glimpse into the imperial and gendered racial logic of the Cold War. She unfolds this particularly entangled and enduring episode in the history of U.S. global hegemony--one that, contrary to leading interpretations of the Cold War as a simple bipolar rivalry, was...

Monstrous Intimacies: Making Post-Slavery Subjects
ISBN: 9780822346098 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Arguing that the fundamental, familiar, sexual violence of slavery and racialized subjugation have continued to shape black and white subjectivities into the present, Christina Sharpe interprets African diasporic and Black Atlantic visual and literary texts that address those monstrous intimacies and their repetition as constitutive of post-slavery subjectivity. Her illuminating readings juxtapose Frederick Douglass s narrative of witnessing the brutal beating of his Aunt Hester with Essie Mae Washington-Williams s declaration of freedom in "Dear Senator: A Memoir by the Daughter of Strom...

Choreographing Asian America
ISBN: 9780819567031 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Poised at the intersection of Asian American studies and dance studies, Choreographing Asian America is the first book-length examination of the role of Orientalist discourse in shaping Asian Americanist entanglements with U.S. modern dance history. Moving beyond the acknowledgement that modern dance has its roots in Orientalist appropriation, Yutian Wong considers the effect that invisible Orientalism has on the reception of work by Asian American choreographers and the conceptualization of Asian American performance as a category. Drawing on ethnographic and choreographic research methods,...

Writing the Ghetto: Class, Authorship, and the Asian American Ethnic Enclave
ISBN: 9780813548012 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the United States, perhaps no minority group is considered as "model" or successful as the Asian American community. Rather than living in ominous "ghettoes," Asian Americans are described as residing in positive-sounding "ethnic enclaves." "Writing the Ghetto" helps clarify the hidden or unspoken class inequalities faced by Asian Americans, while insightfully analyzing the effect such notions have had on their literary voices.
