Autor: R.f. Kuang

Número de Páginas: 296

June Hayward dan Athena Liu sama-sama penulis. Athena, keturunan Asia, ternyata lebih ngetop. Sementara June berpendapat tak ada yang akan tertarik pada karyanya, gadis kulit putih biasa. Ketika Athena mendadak meninggal, June mencuri manuskrip Athena lalu menyerahkannya sebagai karyanya. Penerbit membuatkan citra baru bagi June, lengkap dengan foto yang ambigu mengenai etnik dirinya. Di luar dugaan, buku itu sukses besar. Namun, June tidak bisa lolos dari bayangan Athena, dan bukti-bukti bermunculan, mengancam kesuksesan June. Saat berpacu untuk menutupi rahasianya, June jadi tahu seberapa jauh ia berani bertindak untuk mempertahankan apa yang menurutnya layak ia dapatkan.

Asian Americans and the Media

Autor: Kent A. Ono , Vincent N. Pham

Número de Páginas: 227

Asian Americans and the Media provides a concise, thoughtful, critical and cultural studies analysis of U.S. media representations of Asian Americans. The book also explores ways Asian Americans have resisted, responded to, and conceptualized the terrain of challenge and resistance to those representations, often through their own media productions. In this engaging and accessible book, Ono and Pham summarize key scholarship on Asian American media, as well as lay theoretical groundwork to help students, scholars and other interested readers understand historical and contemporary media representations of Asian Americans in traditional media, including print, film, music, radio, and television, as well as in newer media, primarily internet-situated. Since Asian Americans had little control over their representation in early U.S. media, historically dominant white society largely constructed Asian American media representations. In this context, the book draws attention to recurring patterns in media representation, as well as responses by Asian America. Today, Asian Americans are creating complex, sophisticated, and imaginative self-portraits within U.S. media, often equipped with...

The Methuen Drama Handbook of Theatre History and Historiography

Autor: Claire Cochrane , Jo Robinson

Número de Páginas: 387

Shortlisted for the 2021 TaPRA Edited Collection Prize The Methuen Drama Handbook of Theatre History and Historiography is an authoritative guide to contemporary debates and practices in this field. The book covers the key themes and methods that are current in theatre history research, with a particular focus on expanding the object of study to include engagement with theatre and performance practices and the development of theatre histories around the world. Central to the book are eighteen specially commissioned essays by established and emerging scholars from a wide range of international contexts, whose discussion of individual case studies is predicated on their understanding and experience of their 'local' landscape of theatre history. These essays reveal where important work continues to be done in the field and, most valuably, draws on academic contexts beyond the Western academy to expand our knowledge of the exciting directions that such an approach opens up. Prefaced by an introduction tracing the development of the discipline of theatre history and changing historiographical approaches, the Handbook explores current issues pertaining to theatre and performance history ...

Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she says she is, she didn't write the book she claims she wrote, and she is most certainly not Asian American--in this chilling and hilariously cutting novel from R.F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel. Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athena's a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody.

Yellowface (ebook)

Autor: Rebecca F. Kuang

Número de Páginas: 379

C'est une histoire magistrale racontée par la mauvaise personne. June Hayward et Athena Liu ont étudié ensemble à Yale, ont déménagé à Washington après avoir obtenu leur diplôme et sont toutes les deux écrivaines, mais les similitudes s'arrêtent là. Athena est une étoile montante de la littérature, et June n'est personne. Après tout, qui s'intéresse de nos jours aux histoires d'une fille blanche aussi banale qu'elle ? Lorsqu'elle assiste à la mort d'Athena dans un accident invraisemblable, June agit donc sans réfléchir et vole le manuscrit que son amie et rivale vient de terminer – un roman sur les contributions méconnues du corps des travailleurs chinois pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Et si June corrigeait le récit et l'envoyait à son agent comme s'il s'agissait de son propre travail ? Et si elle adoptait le nom de Juniper Song et jouait sur l'ambiguïté de son origine ethnique ? Quelle qu'en soit l'autrice, ce morceau d'histoire ne mérite-t-il pas d'être raconté ? Mais June ne peut échapper à l'ombre d'Athena, et des révélations menacent de faire s'écrouler son succès volé. Jusqu'où sera-t-elle prête à aller pour protéger son secret ...

"What's the harm in a pseudonym? Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she says she is, she didn't write the book she claims she wrote, and she is most certainly not Asian American--in this chilling and hilariously cutting novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author R. F. Kuang in the vein of White Ivy and The Other Black Girl. Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars: same year at Yale, same debut year in publishing. But Athena's a cross-genre literary darling, and June didn't even get a paperback release. Nobody wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks. So when June witnesses Athena's death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena's just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers to the British and French war efforts during World War I. So what if June edits Athena's novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song--complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo?

Chief Smallboy

Autor: Gary Botting

Número de Páginas: 292

"Gary Botting combines traditional research methods with Native oral history to record the story of Cree Chief Bobtail Smallboy. This Hobbema, Alberta, chief, frustrated with the Canadian government's unwillingness to help him secure more land for his people, led a group of followers to settle in Alberta's Kootenay Plains. Botting weaves the intimate stories of Smallboy's ancestors into the fabric of "known" Canadian and American history to record the compelling story of the visionary chief. In doing so, Botting has made the life of this man and his forebears tactile, adding a third dimension to the history of the Cree people, their leaders, and their treatment in the hands of government."-- Back cover.

Ethnic Ventriloquism

Autor: Mita Banerjee

Número de Páginas: 320

To read the foundational texts of the American Renaissance as well as other canonical nineteenth-century texts as instances of "literary minstrelsy" may at first seem counterintuitive not only in the apparent confounding of popular and literary cultures, but also in the relative significance such a reading would accord to the ethnic difference portrayed in these narratives. Yet, such a reversal of perspective is precisely what this book suggests. Are the strolling Indian in Thoreau's Walden, the Native physician in The Scarlet Letter, or the unkempt Mexican girl in Kate Chopin's The Awakening, really only incidental to these literary narratives? Proposing the concept of "ethnic ventriloquism," this study argues that the commitment of nineteenth-century America to democratic self-renewal may be much more indebted to ethnic sources than it would at first appear. America's pledge to democracy may in fact be an instance of a white subject speaking in an ethnic voice, a literary instance of brownface, redface, yellowface, or blackface. The aim of this re-reading of nineteenth-century American literature is to recover the referent of such ethnic ventriloquism, to imagine the moment...

Racial Geometries of the Black Atlantic, Asian Pacific and American Theatre

Autor: Shannon Steen

Número de Páginas: 232

Drawing on original archival research, Racial Geometries... examines popular forms of performance -- from musical theatre and minstrelsy to non-theatrical forms like Chinatown tourism -- to expose how American racial formation between the two world wars was not determined only within national borders but traded on and influenced international dynamics.
