ISBN10: 1586482149, ISBN13: 9781586482145, [publisher: PUBLIC AFFAIRS LTD.] Softcover Sheridan Prassso lays out a challenge to see Asia and Asians as they really are, with unclouded, de-eroticized eyes. She uncovers the origins of Western fantasies in the sexually-charged history of West-East contact; examines Hollywood's image of the Asian woman; tears apart the stereotyped images of Asian males as emasculated and asexual; and probes the underlying racism and other social factors that fuel it. Required reading for anyone with an interest in or interacting with Asia or Asian-origin people, this book demands that we move beyond our myths of exotic difference. It is an engaging portrait of Asia that seeks to enlighten us all. [New York, NY, U.S.A.] [Publication Year: 2005]
New York: Public Affairs, Date: 2005. xvii, 437 pages, illustrations, map; 24 cm. PRESENTATION COPY. Signed by the author, with a personalized inscription.

The Asian Mystique lays out a provocative challenge to see Asia and Asians as they really are, with unclouded, deeroticized eyes. It traces the origins of Western stereotypes in history and in Hollywood, examines the phenomenon of 'yellow fever,' then goes on a reality tour of Asia's go-go bars, middle-class homes, college campuses, business districts, and corridors of power, providing intimate profiles of women's lives and vivid portraits of the human side of an Asia we usually mythologize too well to really understand. It strips away our misconceptions and stereotypes, revealing instead the ...

PRESENTATION COPY INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, SHERIDAN PRASSO, on half-title page. Inscription reads, 'To -------/A fellow China/hand/Sheri'. Illustrated with photographs, line-drawings and a map. In Western fantasies, the Orient is the exotic, sensual, dangerous, decadent land of dreams - where submissive women cater to every desire, where compliant nations fall into line under Western dominance.
