Abstract

"Transpacific Convergences: Race, Migration, and Japanese American Film Culture before World War II" by Denise Khor explores the formation and development of Japanese American cine-culture in the first half of the 20th century. The book highlights how the Japanese in the United States actively shaped an "alternative system" of cinematic engagement that challenged classical Hollywood. It examines the politics of silent film reception and production, the establishment of permanent movie houses, and the transition from silent films to talkies. The book offers valuable insights into Japanese American film culture and its efforts to build everyday life through social, cultural, and institutional engagement. [Extracted from the article]
