Through this widened scope, Konzett examines Hollywood's representations of Hawaiians and Asians and explores how, throughout film history, they have echoed and complicated Hollywood's long, troubled history of representing black bodies. From minstrelsy (blackface and yellowface) to plantation (cotton and tobacco to sugarcane and pineapple) melodramas, Asians, Polynesians, and African Americans have been marginalized throughout film history. Konzett's work gets us closer to understanding the complex interplay of these multiple, layered, and problematic representational histories-and opens the door for further, more in-depth analyses of these intersectional cinematic moments.\"\u003c\/div\u003e (The Velvet Light Trap) \u003cdiv\u003e\"Konzett's insightful book is a highly recommended puzzle piece of the ongoing critique about race and representation in film.\"\u003c\/div\u003e (The Journal of American Culture)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWhether presented as exotic fantasy, a strategic location during World War II, or a site combining postwar leisure with military culture, Hawaii and the South Pacific figure prominently in the U.S. national imagination. \u003ci\u003eHollywood’s Hawaii\u003c\/i\u003e is the first full-length study of the film industry’s intense engagement with the Pacific region from 1898 to the present.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Delia Malia Caparoso Konzett highlights films that mirror the cultural and political climate of the country over more than a century-from the era of U.S. imperialism on through Jim Crow racial segregation, the attack on Pearl Harbor and WWII, the civil rights movement, the contemporary articulation of consumer and leisure culture, as well as the buildup of the modern military industrial complex.
