Description: Yellowface : Creating The Chinese In American Popular Music And Performance, 1850s-1920s, Paperback by Moon, Krystyn R., ISBN 0813535077, ISBN-13 9780813535074, Brand New, Free shipping in the US In a roughly chronological fashion, Moon (history, Georgia State U.) describes how musical production for the American stage was used by non-Chinese, Chinese, and Chinese-Americans to construct and contest stereotypes of Chinese ethnicity during the 19th and early 20th centuries. She begins with chapters on common American and European perceptions of the Chinese and then provides explorations of early Chinese performers and the use of musical notation and instrumentation to represent China. Finally, a survey and analysis of the heterogeneity of Chinese images produced from the mid-1880s to the 1920s is followed by profiles of Chinese and Chinese-American vaudevillians.
