4.9/5 (18577 ratings)

Description:Despite the  rise of the Hollywood  system  and hostility to Asian migrant communities in the early twentieth-century United States, Japanese Americans  created a  thriving cinema culture that  produced films and established theaters and exhibition companies to facilitate their  circulation  between  Japan and the United States.  Drawing from a fascinating multilingual archive including the films themselves, movie industry trade press, Japanese American newspapers, oral histories, and more, this book reveals  the experiences of Japanese Americans at the cinema and traces an alternative network of film production, exhibition, and spectatorship. In doing so, Denise Khor  recovers previously unknown films such as  The Oath of the Sword (1914), likely one of the earliest Asian American film productions, and illuminates the global circulations that have always constituted the multifaceted history of American cinema. Khor  opens up transnational lines of inquiry and draws  comparisons  between early Japanese American cinema and Black cinema to  craft  a broad and expansive history of  a transnational public sphere shaped by the circulation and exchange of people, culture, and ideas across the Pacific.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
