In the years following World War II, American writers and artists produced a steady stream of popular stories about Americans living, working, and traveling in Asia and the Pacific. Meanwhile the U.S., competing with the Soviet Union for global power, extended its reach into Asia to an unprecedented degree. This book reveals that these trends - the proliferation of Orientalist culture and the expansion of U.S. power - were linked in complex and surprising ways. While most cultural historians of the Cold War have focused on the culture of containment, Christina Klein reads the postwar period as one of international economic and political integration - a distinct chapter in the process of U.S.-led globalization. Through her analysis of a wide range of texts and cultural phenomena - including Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific and The King and I, James Michener's travel essays and novel Hawaii, and Eisenhower's People-to-People Program - Klein shows how U.S. policy makers, together with middlebrow artists, writers, and intellectuals, created a culture of global integration that represented the growth of U.S. power in Asia as the forging of emotionally satisfying bonds between Americans and Asians. Her book enlarges Edward Said's notion of Orientalism in order to bring to light a cultural narrative about both domestic and international integration that still resonates today.
so far the best.American’s expansion and integration globally as a nascent leader was shaped by as well as dealing with triple predicaments: European colonialism as a stereotype abhorred by Third World nationalism; Communism alternative “developmental pattern” for the wavering allies; Domestic racialism easily misinterpreted as Nazism
评分分析《国王与我》和《花鼓歌》的那两章,思考密度大到令人读着读着,一股血液往上涌。最近越觉得历史真的就在一遍遍重演,我们关心许多“当下”问题的时候,不妨退一步,多看些东西,才能发现许多事情是共通的、并且已经被人讨论过的。这样想来倒也令人悲观:那么人类究竟进步了没有呀?
评分annotated bib. 不喜欢“middlebrow"这样的用法,除此之外,感觉史料的选择(cultural turn)还是很有趣的。
