Yet beneath the sheen of these online success stories lies a problem--Asian Americans remain sorely underrepresented in mainstream film and television. When they do appear on screen, they are often relegated to demeaning stereotypes such as the comical foreigner, the sexy girlfriend, or the martial arts villain. The story that remains untold is that as long as these inequities have existed, Asian Americans have been fighting back--joining together to protest offensive imagery, support Asian American actors and industry workers, and make their voices heard. Providing a cultural history and ethnography, Asian American Media Activism assesses everything from grassroots collectives in the 1970s up to contemporary engagements by fan groups, advertising agencies, and users on YouTube and Twitter. In linking these different forms of activism, Lori Kido Lopez investigates how Asian American media activism takes place and evaluates what kinds of interventions are most effective. Ultimately, Lopez finds that activists must be understood as fighting for cultural citizenship, a deeper sense of belonging and acceptance within a nation that has long rejected them.--Publisher description. 650 0 $a Asian Americans in mass media. 650 0 $a Ethnicity in mass media. 650 0 $a Racism in mass media. 650 0 $a Mass media $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 7 $a Asian Americans in mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01938284 650 7 $a Ethnicity in mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01903156 650 7 $a Mass media $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011303 650 7 $a Racism in mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086657 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 830 0 $a Critical cultural communication. 941 $a 4 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718092544.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20180524044735.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20170601010151.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20161214010331.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=06310044C1CB11E6A8A33A9FDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
