About this book

之前关于巴特勒下家去哪，虽然爆料有众多球队，但就时间情况来看，巴特勒想要找到合适的下家很难，首先火箭、太阳都没有任何的希望，而勇士也不愿意给库明加，在这种情况下，关于巴特勒会去哪存在一定的悬念，不过有消息称掘金有望成为巴特勒的下家，而美媒《FW》就提供了一笔交易方案，具体如下：

In 1938, China City opened near downtown Los Angeles. Featuring a recreation of the House of Wang set from MGM's The Good Earth, this new Chinatown employed many of the same Chinese Americans who performed as background extras in the 1937 film. Chinatown and Hollywood represented the two primary sites where Chinese Americans performed racial difference for popular audiences during the Chinese exclusion era. In Performing Chinatown, historian William Gow argues that Chinese Americans in Los Angeles used these performances in Hollywood films and in Chinatown for tourists to shape widely held understandings of race and national belonging during this pivotal chapter in U.S. history.

Performing Chinatown conceives of these racial representations as intimately connected to the restrictive immigration laws that limited Chinese entry into the U.S. beginning with the 1875 Page Act and continuing until the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. At the heart of this argument are the voices of everyday people including Chinese American movie extras, street performers, and merchants. Drawing on more than 40 oral history interviews as well as research in more than a dozen archival and family collections, this book retells the long-overlooked history of the ways that Los Angeles Chinatown shaped Hollywood and how Hollywood, in turn, shaped perceptions of Asian American identity.

对于本书

1938年，中国城在洛杉矶市中心隔壁开业。这个新的唐东谈主街重现了米高梅电影《地面》中王府的场景，迪士尼彩乐园骗钱并雇用了好多曾在1937年这部电影中担任全球演员的华侨好意思国东谈主。 在排华技巧，唐东谈主街和好莱坞是华侨好意思国东谈主在专家不雅众眼前展现种族各别的两个主要场面。在《展演唐东谈主街》一书中，历史学家威廉·高觉得，洛杉矶的华侨好意思国东谈主通过在好莱坞电影中的扮演和在唐东谈主街为旅客所作念的扮演，塑造了这段好意思国历史关节技巧东谈主们对种族和国民包摄感的多量剖释。

《展演唐东谈主街》觉得这些种族表征与畛域性侨民法密切关系，这些法律始于1875年的佩奇法案，直到1965年《侨民与国籍法》通过才告驱逐。 本书的中枢是庸俗东谈主的声息，包括华侨好意思国电影全球演员、街头艺东谈主和商东谈主。本书借助逾越40份口述史访谈以及对十多个档案馆和家眷保藏的商讨，从头文牍了一段恒久被冷酷的历史：洛杉矶唐东谈主街若何塑造了好莱坞，而好莱坞又是若何影响了东谈主们对亚裔好意思国东谈主身份的剖释。
