Editorial Reviews
Review
Kondo's book is dense, absorbing and challenging; Kondo's intellect and passion permeate the work and will cause a reader to question the semiotics of race and fashion in both American culture and theatre.
Theatre History Studies, 1999

...Ms. Kondo's style of writing and vocabulary will provide food for thought.
Education About Asia, Winter 1998

About Face is a dynamic and exciting book, one that addresses issues and takes positions that few in the field of Asian studies have yet to engage.... Much in this book is well grounded in traditional methodologies (interview, historical, and textual analysis) and the importance of identity and performance for today's world of global and transnationalist capitalism should be beyond question.
Journal of Asian Studies

... recommend[ed] ... for a class in either ethnic studies, Asian cultural studies or even fashion ... These essays give the reader insight into an Asian American woman's perception of commonly held Asian stereotypes that can be illuminating to the student of Asian culture.
