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
評分幾年前在課上讀過 Musicals and Modernization: The King and I 文章對音樂劇《國王與我》的解讀非常經典。最近讀《東方學》,更新瞭自己對有些問題的認識。之前習慣將意識形態與國傢利益因素對立起來,嘗嘗糾結於為何在很多材料中無法恰當的解讀處理意識形態因素。最近上課時讀英美外交檔案,慢慢想明白,對於意識形態因素的解剖應該構成研究的底色。可能看到的絕大多數的材料無法直接導嚮到意識形態因素,但並不代錶這種因素不存在。意識形態因素與國傢利益,這兩個問題也許本身就不在一個層次之上。

評分annotated bib. 不喜歡“middlebrow"這樣的用法,除此之外,感覺史料的選擇(cultural turn)還是很有趣的。
