Recenzii
A tour de force. Henry Yu takes us on a dazzling journey through twentieth-century social science and identity politics. There is something new and provocative on every page, from Yu's deep analysis of the construction of the "oriental" in Chicago School sociology to his finely-drawn biographical vignettes of famous intellectuals and little known immigrants. Thinking Orientals will find a place on a short shelf of absolutely indispensable books on the changing concept of race in American history.
In this masterful and densely textured book, Henry Yu explores how American social scientists at the University of Chicago grappled with the 'Oriental problem' during the first half of the twentieth century. Offering rich insights on how theories of race and culture in American intellectual life were constructed, Thinking Orientals exposes the limitations of binary racial theories and offers us sophisticated ways of thinking about the complexity of contemporary race relations. This is an important book. It is one of the best intellectual histories of the concept of race I have read.
Elegantly written, keenly argued. Page after page, Thinking Orientals is aglitter with insights which will be important, not only for specialists in Asian American studies, but for anyone interested in the workings of 'race' on the American scene. Henry Yu brilliantly illuminates the mutual engagement of the social and the intellectual worlds-the power of ideas to disfigure the social landscape, and of existing social and institutional structures persistently to hem our thinking.
Thinking Orientals is a brilliant synthesis of ethnic studies and intellectual history. Henry Yu's wonderfully cogent interpretation of the creation, racialization, and replication of the scholarly study of American 'Orientals' should be required reading for all scholars and students seeking to understand the intimate connections between race, culture, knowledge, and power in modern American history.
Stylish, rigorous, dramatic, and unpredictable, this book makes enormous contributions to American Studies, to Asian American Studies, to the sociology of race, and to cultural studies. More than almost any other recent work, it shows what is gained for intellectual history by taking a broadly cultural approach. Yu surely places social science within a broader and highly unequal world and situates the creativity of a fascinating group of intellectuals of color within sharp constraints.
Dominating stereotypes have humble origins as explanations. This is a revealing history on how we in the United States have come to think the way we do on 'Orientals,' assimilation, and whiteness.
