"An illustrated companion and expansion of Arthur Dong's documentary film, Hollywood Chinese (DeepFocus Productions, 2007)"--Title page verso.
Hollywood Chinatown -- Fu Manchu -- Charlie Chan -- The Good Earth -- Yellowface: personal reflections -- Some real Chinese -- The saviors -- The butterfly syndrome -- Suzie Wong: a Nancy Kwan conundrum -- Flower Drum Song: all dancing! all singing! all Asian (almost) -- They made movies then -- They make movies now.
"Hollywood Chinese presents a lavish, highly illustrated look at Asian Americans in Hollywood films, beginning with some of the earliest movies shot in America's Chinatowns, followed by a deep dive into Chinese representation--and misrepresentation--in Hollywood's Golden Era, and ending with the remarkable Chinese and Chinese American actors, directors, and screenwriters remaking the contemporary cinematic landscape."--Back cover.
