A rigorously-researched and important illumination of the impact of politics, protest, and profit on Hollywood's representation of race. --Philippa Gates author of Criminalization/Assimilation: Chinese/Americans and Chinatowns in Classical Hollywood Film Deeply rooted in sound documentation and rigouous archival study but also imaginative and subtle in the interpretive work it accomplishes, Hollywood Diplomacy offers a fresh and vital account of the censorship and regulation that surrounds Asian and Asian American representation in film. --Ellen Scott author of Cinema Civil Rights: Race, Repression and Regulation in Classical Hollywood


The book provides a new and fresh understanding of how policies, censorship, and the propaganda machine can influence screenwriters, directors, and production companies. A deft combination of history and textual analysis, Hollywood Diplomacy provides insight into how Hollywood has often wrongly represented East Asian people and then attempted to save face and money by editing out those problematic representations.
