Reviews
"Using an eclectic approach, Oriental, Black, and White details a number of historically important examples of interracial intersections onstage, unmooring conventional approaches to understanding race in America and providing a timely and much-needed story of racial representation and impersonation in American cultural history."—Esther Kim Lee, Duke University
"Full of fascinating theatrical case studies, Oriental, Black, and White traverses a wide terrain to show us the central role of orientalism and yellowface performance in the evolution of American minstrelsy into a genteel art form."—Edlie Wong, University of Maryland
