SUMMARY:Performing Chinatown: Hollywood\, Tourism\, and the Making of a Chinese American Community
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California \nIn 1938\, China City opened near downtown Los Angeles. Featuring a recreation of the House of Wang set from MGM’s The Good Earth\, this new Chinatown employed many of the same Chinese Americans who performed as background extras in the 1937 film. Chinatown and Hollywood represented the two primary sites where Chinese Americans performed racial difference for popular audiences during the Chinese exclusion era. In Performing Chinatown\, historian William Gow argues that Chinese Americans in Los Angeles used these performances in Hollywood films and in Chinatown for tourists to shape widely held understandings of race and national belonging during this pivotal chapter in U.S. history. \nPerforming Chinatown conceives of these racial representations as intimately connected to the restrictive immigration laws that limited Chinese entry into the U.S. beginning with the 1875 Page Act and continuing until the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. At the heart of this argument are the voices of everyday people including Chinese American movie extras\, street performers\, and merchants. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by William Gow\, historian\, educator\, documentary filmmaker\, and Assistant Professor\, Ethnic Studies Department\, Sacramento State University\, Sacramento\, California. \nTo register\, click here.
