About this product
Product Information
Straightjacket Sexualities is the first full-length study of the racialization of Asian American men in Hollywood and independent films from 1959-2009. It argues that the attribution of asexual, effeminate, and queer labels--indicating what these men lack--inadequately captures how Asian American men both wield power and experience its disciplining force.

"[Shimizu's] close reading of Gran Torino is reason enough to read this book . . . [Shimizu] has a keen understanding of the relationship between the genders, and describes several film projects that have attempted to address such issues. Summing Up: Highly recommended."-G. R. Butters Jr., CHOICE, "An exciting contribution to Asian American, film, and gender and sexuality studies, one which many will find liberatory as well. A perfect sequel to her book on Asian American female sexualities."-David Palumbo-Liu, Stanford University, "An exciting contribution to Asian American, film, and gender and sexuality studies, one which many will find liberatory as well. A perfect sequel to her book on Asian American female sexualities."--David Palumbo-Liu, Stanford University, Shimizu assembles an impressive corpus of films'popular, independent, pornographic'to build her case. . . Shimizu develops a provocative, persuasive case for the need for new analytical and critical lenses that go beyond the faulty and ultimately impotent logic of using normative masculinity as the site for racial justice., "An utterly original examination of Asian American masculinity on the silver screen, Straightjacket Sexualities is a critical tour-de-force that reveals cinema to be an ethical event. It offers a theory of responsibility in the face of vulnerability and persecution to encourage the emergence of new and better forms of manhood."—David L. Eng, University of Pennsylvania, "An utterly original examination of Asian American masculinity on the silver screen, Straightjacket Sexualities is a critical tour-de-force that reveals cinema to be an ethical event.

Eng, University of Pennsylvania, "Through her analysis of films from the 1950s to 2000s, Shimizu excels in critiquing the negative racialization of Asian American male characters and then providing reinterpretations that encourage empowerment and change for the future . . . Overall, Celine Parreñas Shimizu's Straitjacket Sexualities: Unbinding Asian American Manhoods in the Movies is a very thought-provoking book, and we highly recommend it to anyone who is interested learning more about Asian American masculinity and how it is portrayed in films."—Jennifer Chang and William Ming Liu, Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology, "An exciting contribution to Asian American, film, and gender and sexuality studies, one which many will find liberatory as well.
