Description
Writes Tanaka: "Silent, sex-less, obedient houseboys and mystic martial arts masters are the popular images of Asian males propagated in this culture's mass media. Invisibility is the core element reflected in this single-dimensional representation of Asian men. Through the reflections and voices of Asian American men, we become privy to the manner in which racism effects their lives and personal identity."
