While some Asian American films and filmmakers are beginning to
achieve acclaim in mainstream U.S. culture, neither academic
scholars nor society as a whole has sufficiently taken account of
the history of this rich and growing body of cinematic production.
In Asian America Through the Lens, Jun Xing accomplishes the
colossal task of surveying Asian American cinema for the first
time, allowing its aesthetic, cultural, and political diversity and
continuities to emerge. Unique insight into Asian American
experience in both mainstream and alternative film production is
provided by textual analysis as well as by the voices of filmmakers
and actors themselves. With constant attention to the specificities
of Asian American histories and cultures, Xing engages a broad
range of issues and theoretical perspectives, drawing insight from
such bodies of scholarship as African American and Latino film
studies, Marxian cultural theory, ethnic studies and the politics
of representation, and post-structuralist and feminist discourses.
