From the Back Cover
is the first volume to document the remarkable body of film, vdeo, and radio produced by Asian and Pacific Americans from the 1960s to the 1990s. Fifty award-winning filmmakers, media artists, and writers speak firsthand to issues of generation and gender, ethnicity and nationality, which shape their imagery and identities. Three introductory essays provide an overview to the subject: Stephen Gong, of the Pacific Film Archives in Berkeley, surveys the role of Asian American media organizations in New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Boston, and San Francisco; Renee Tajima, Oscar-nominated filmmaker, charts twenty years of Asian American filmmaking; and Russell Leong, editor of UCLA's Amerasia Journal brings forth key issues on media culture and the Asian American experience.
