Media activists and critics have denounced contemporary decisions to cast White actors to play Asians and Asian Americans in movies such as Ghost in the Shell and Aloha. The purpose of this book is to apply the concept of "whitewashing" in stories that privilege White identities at the expense of Asian/American stories and characters. To understand whitewashing across various contexts, the book analyzes films produced in Hollywood, Asian American independent production, and US-China co-productions. Through the analysis, the book examines the ways in which whitewashing matters in the project of Whiteness and White racial hegemony. The book contributes to contemporary understanding of mediated representations of race by theorizing whitewashing, contributing to studies of Whiteness in media studies, and producing a counter-imagination of Asian/American representation in Asian-centered stories"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Whitewashing romance in Hawai'i: Aloha -- White China experts, Asian American Twinkies: Shanghai calling and Already tomorrow in Hong Kong -- White grievance, heroism, and post racist, mixed race inclusion in 47 Ronin -- Satire and the villainy of Kim Jong Un: the interview -- White survival in Southeast Asia: No escape and The impossible -- Whitewashing anime remakes: Ghost in the shell and Dragonball evolution -- Transnational co-production and the ambivalence of white masculine heroism: The Great Wall, Outcast, and Enter the warrior's gate -- Conclusion. 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Asian Americans in motion pictures. 650 0 $a White people in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Ethnicity in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Asian Americans in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00818677 650 7 $a Ethnicity in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01903157 650 7 $a Motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027285 650 7 $a White people in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01174834 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014226.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=58DDC7C8DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
