Sessue Hayakawa - Daisuke Miyao - Bog

"Sessue Hayakawa has not received the attention he deserves as one of the most popular and prolific stars of the American silent screen, and this book brings a wealth of material to light. Without replicating existing research, Daisuke Miyao makes an important contribution to three developing areas within film studies: new approaches to the history of early silent film, studies of the impact of Asian Americans on Hollywood, and studies of transnational links among various film industries around the world."--Gina Marchetti, author of "From Tian'anmen to Times Square: Transnational China and the Chinese Diaspora on Global Screens, 1989-1997"
