Book Description
In Beyond “The Chinese Connection,” Crystal S. Anderson explores the cultural and political exchanges between African Americans, Asian Americans, and Asians over the last four decades. To do so, Anderson examines such cultural productions as novels (Frank Chin’s Gunga Din Highway [1999], Ishmael Reed’s Japanese by Spring [1992], and Paul Beatty’s The White Boy Shuffle [1996]); films (Rush Hour 2 [2001], Unleashed [2005], and The Matrix trilogy [1999-2003]); and Japanese animation (Samurai Champloo [2004]), all of which feature cross-cultural conversations. In exploring the ways in which writers and artists use this transferal, Anderson traces and tests the limits of how Afro-Asian cultural production interrogates conceptions of race, ethnic identity, politics, and transnational exchange. Ultimately, this book reads contemporary black/Asian cultural fusions through the recurrent themes established by the films of Bruce Lee, which were among the first—and certainly most popular—works to use this exchange explicitly. As a result of such films as Enter the Dragon (1973), The Chinese Connection (1972), and The Big Boss (1971), Lee emerges as both a cross-cultural hero and global cultural icon who resonates with the experiences of African American, Asian American and Asian youth in the 1970s. Lee’s films and iconic imagery prefigure themes that reflect cross-cultural negotiations with global culture in post-1990 Afro-Asian cultural production.

Book Description
Lee Kai-Chang was tired of being the model obedient Chinese son. He was tired of all that his family represented--the establishment, affluence and traditional values. He wanted a cause. When he left his home, he was determined to overthrow his family, his whole class, and the existing puppet government of Taiwan. Searching for excitement, Lee joined forces with the People's Liberation Army, a rebel communist organization. Although his life became filled with action, it was void of purpose or meaning. Before long, Lee found himself in prison, scorned by his family. There came the message of salvation from his Christian uncle. Now Lee's enthusiasm was rechanneled into God's work. Filled with courage and vigor, he became involved in an effort to smuggle Bibles into the People's Republic of China. Now, he really had a cause --From publisher's description.
