- Synopsis
- Huang traces the transpacific displacement of cultural meanings through twentieth-century America's imaging of Asia and relates Imagism to earlier linguistic ethnographies of Asia and to racist representations of Asians in American pop culture, such as the book and movie character Charlie Chan, then shows that Asian American writers subject both literary Orientalism and racial stereotyping to double ventriloquism and countermockery.
