Romance and the Yellow Peril
Author: Gina Marchetti
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520914629
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
Hollywood films about Asians and interracial sexuality are the focus of Gina Marchetti's provocative new work. While miscegenation might seem an unlikely theme for Hollywood, Marchetti shows how fantasy-dramas of interracial rape, lynching, tragic love, and model marriage are powerfully evident in American cinema. The author begins with a discussion of D. W. Griffith's Broken Blossoms, then considers later films such as Shanghai Express, Madame Butterfly, and the recurring geisha movies. She also includes some fascinating "forgotten" films that have been overlooked by critics until now. Marchetti brings the theoretical perspective of recent writing on race, ethnicity, and gender to her analyses of film and television and argues persuasively that these media help to perpetuate social and racial inequality in America. Noting how social norms and taboos have been simultaneously set and broken by Hollywood filmmakers, she discusses the "orientalist" tensions underlying the construction of American cultural identity. Her book will be certain to interest readers in film, Asian, women's, and cultural studies.

Pages : 40
Book Description
Category Fiction > Romance Fiction > Short Story Fiction > Korean Fiction (Web Novel) Summary SeoJin, a freelance voice actress, and SeoJin, a hardworking office worker, are best friends who have grown up together since childhood. SeoJin used to live in JiWoo's neighbourhood as the daughter of an widow, but when JiWoo was in middle school, his father died in an accident. He then moved in with SeoJin's family. SeoJin's mother, who runs the household in place of her late father, her eldest daughter, SeoJin, her younger brother, UiJin, and SeoJin. They bicker in their poor, cramped home, but they have grown up in friendship and love. As adults, SeoJin and JiWoo become independent and left their hometown, but even in the city, they live in each other's neighbourhood. Although they have known each other for a long time, they have never looked at each other as a man and a woman. They just maintain a strong friendship, being there for each other when they need each other. On a winter night with Christmas just around the corner, their relationship begins to change when JiWoo unexpectedly asks SeoJin out on a Christmas date. We always make choices. And what we lose and what we gain in return. Here is a woman torn between choices. Torn between a best friend and the love of her life. #contemporary #modernSetting #mistake #friendsToLover #firstLove #calmAndQuiet #healingHeart * This short story of Romance is translated from from the original Korean short web-novel. (text only, no illustration) Tables Of Contents Title Page Body Content Copyright (81 pages in approx. print length) Preview Friday nights at the end of the year were noisy everywhere they went. SeoJin was there. What began this summer with a relatively long-running cast in a modest role ended at the end of this year. The results were good. It was quite topical on social media and received a lot of favorable reviews. When a movie was dubbed, many people grumbled about the voice actors but watched it anyway. Considering that, it was a result that exceeded expectation. It was only natural that SeoJin would drink at a year-end party. SeoJin was a second-year freelance voice actress. If she adds up with the career at companies, it would soon be the fifth year. SeoJin was steadily building her own career. When she was full-time, the roles she played were well received, so fortunately, she became a freelancer and her career was not interrupted. Even so, like everyone at first, the first year was difficult because of the low income from the occasional job. She couldn't open her hands to her parents, so she made up for her scarce living expenses with the money she had saved steadily, and when she was struggling, she even worked short-term part-time jobs. Compared to that kind of life, she was grateful for this moment when she completed the long-term program safely and well. "Well done, SeoJin. It was a bit of a big part this time, wasn't it?" "Yes, you as a senior voice actress have taught me well, so I was able to learn a lot." "Don't take me to the sky. I'm not fooled by that." "SeoJin, Don't believe that, even if you say something like that, his expression is too good." As time went on, the party was getting rowdier. SeoJin was almost the youngest in her career, so she was trying not to get drunk, but the people sitting next to her drank the sprits a lot they asked her to do so, and she was slowly losing her mind. As the time drew on, the sound of people leaving the room little by little came out, and SeoJin sneaked out into the bathroom. She put her hands on her hot face and looked in the mirror. Instead of turning red when she drank, she turned white, so it was easy for everyone to misunderstand that she was a good drinker. She wasn't a bad drinker, but that didn't mean she was okay with drinking a lot. She was barely able to keep her mind off because she was secretly taking care of herself by drinking water from the side, but otherwise she would have gotten drunk properly. SeoJin washed her hands in the cold water. She thought of washing her hands in ice-cold water to keep her senses. Ringing. When the phone rang shallowly, she took out the phone and checked the screen, and there was a familiar name. For a moment, she remembered the text she got to leave him a message earlier. She didn't even call him, but if she didn't answer this call, she would probably hear the storm of nagging, so she quickly pressed the call button before it hung up. "... Hello-ish." [What. Are you drunk?] "A little. Hehe..." It was a bit of a reproachful tone, but he didn't seem to be angry, so SeoJin relaxed a little. Perhaps it was because she was relaxed, but a light laugh came out of her mouth because of the surge of alcohol. A small sigh came over the phone. [You're going home soon, what's the name of the bar.] "Here? ... Here... 'Desk Drawer'!" [Luckily it's nearby, I'll' call you and answer it, I'll wait for you in front of the bar.] "Yes. Mother."

Book Description
Noah I never expected this life to be an easy one. My band needs a new deal, and our next tour is our best and maybe only time to find it. I’ve got plans, though. Good ones. I just need everything to go right. Molly Rush, my best friend and Girl Friday, was supposed to be on hand to help me with them. But when she gets a new job as a magazine photographer, that goes sideways. When she returns to photograph our tour, she’s suddenly mouth-wateringly sexy. Confident. Shining. Irresistible. And I can’t keep my hands off her. No matter how much I know I have to. Molly Noah Michael has been my best friend since we were kids, growing up in the same orphanage, and I’d be lying if I said I never loved him. Honestly, I’ve loved him my whole life, and it’s always been a bad idea. Which is why I take a new job, far from him and his bandmates. But when my new employer sends me right back to him, camera in hand, he starts looking at me different. Looking at me like he actually wants me. But I’m too smart to give in to that sort of thing. I know him too well to take the risk. At least my brain does. My heart, on the other hand… Noah: Smoke and Mirrors is the third installment in the Trouble Next Door series, and promises angst, spice, a damaged rockstar and the girl he secretly loves, and a guaranteed HEA. Tissues not included!

Book Description
Noah I never expected this life to be an easy one. My band needs a new deal, and our next tour is our best and maybe only time to find it. I’ve got plans, though. Good ones. I just need everything to go right. Molly Rush, my best friend and Girl Friday, was supposed to be on hand to help me with them. But when she gets a new job as a magazine photographer, that goes sideways. When she returns to photograph our tour, she’s suddenly mouth-wateringly sexy. Confident. Shining. Irresistible. And I can’t keep my hands off her. No matter how much I know I have to. Molly Noah Michael has been my best friend since we were kids, growing up in the same orphanage, and I’d be lying if I said I never loved him. Honestly, I’ve loved him my whole life, and it’s always been a bad idea. Which is why I take a new job, far from him and his bandmates. But when my new employer sends me right back to him, camera in hand, he starts looking at me different. Looking at me like he actually wants me. But I’m too smart to give in to that sort of thing. I know him too well to take the risk. At least my brain does. My heart, on the other hand… Noah: Smoke and Mirrors is the third installment in the Trouble Next Door series, and promises angst, spice, a damaged rockstar and the girl he secretly loves, and a guaranteed HEA. Tissues not included!
