"An interesting exploration of how comedy has both perpetuated and challenged racial stereotypes, this book is essential reading for understanding the historical roots of anti-Asian racism in the West. Meticulously researched and provocatively argued, it offers a vital corrective to Eurocentric narratives of humour and power." - Dr Kavyta Raghunandan, author of New Indian Nuttahs: Comedy and Cultural Critique in Millennial India This book charts the representation of East and Southeast Asian (ESEA) people in popular performance and media in the US and UK from 1848 to the present day. It offers a comprehensive guide to understanding the major stereotypes, their historical evolution, and their persistence in contemporary comedy and performance. By delving into this rich history, readers are encouraged to critically examine the representations they encounter and create. The chapters cover pivotal topics such as the impact of large-scale ESEA immigration, international relations through major wars, and the role of comedy in perpetuating stereotypes. Through detailed case studies-from Vaudeville scripts to modern stand-up comedians-this book reveals how these stereotypes have been reinforced, subverted, or transformed over time. Readers discover how historical events shaped Western perceptions of ESEA cultures and how these perceptions continue to influence media today. This book is an essential resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in media studies, cultural history, or racial representation. It provides valuable insights into the power structures that have shaped societal norms and offers a critical lens for analysing racial stereotypes in performance. Whether you're a researcher or an interested lay reader, this book invites you to explore the complex interplay between history, comedy, and cultural representation. Natcha Chirapiwat is a lecturer in Drama at Royal Holloway University, UK, and completed her Ph.D. on the Vice Chancellor's Scholarship at the University of Kent, UK, where she was also a Graduate Teaching Assistant. She has lectured at Brunel University, UK.
