Anna May Wong
あらすじ・解説
Pioneering Chinese American actress Anna May Wong made more than 60 films, headlined theater and vaudeville productions, and even starred in her own television show. Her work helped shape racial modernity, as she embodied the dominant image of Chinese, and more generally, “Oriental” women between 1925 and 1940.
In Anna May Wong, Shirley Jennifer Lim re-evaluates Wong’s life and work as a consummate artist, by mining an historical archive of her efforts outside of Hollywood cinema. From her pan-European films and her self-made My China Film, to her encounters with artists such as Josephine Baker, Carl Van Vechten, and Walter Benjamin, Lim scrutinizes Wong’s cultural production and self-fashioning.
By considering the salient moments of Wong’s career and cultural output, Lim’s analysis explores the deeper meanings, and positions the actress as a historical and cultural entrepreneur who rewrote categories of representation.
The book is published by Temple University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.
