Reviews for Yellow Future: Oriental Style in Hollywood Cinema
"Yellow Future’s emphasis on ‘oriental style’ is interesting and fresh. I can see other scholars in the field picking up this term and running with it, both in their writing and teaching. Jane Chi Hyun Park has written an excellent, useful book." —Lisa Nakamura, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
