Reviews
"Martial arts cinema is underrepresented in cinema history and the Black presence in martial arts cinema is even more so, which makes Price's Black Dragon groundbreaking, significant, and overdue....This timely, necessary volume is soundly theorized and documented. Focused on Price's theory of 'transcultural kinesthesia,' the book offers perhaps the first scholarly analyses of Moses Powell, Ron van Clief, Ronald Duncan, and the Black Karate Federation. Summing Up: Highly recommended." --K. J. Wetmore, CHOICE, "A richly chronicled history of the adoption and dissemination of Black martial arts in the United States." --Shannon Steen, author of Racial Geometries of the Black Atlantic, Asian Pacific and American Theatre, " Black Dragon makes an outstanding intervention into the sub-field of martial arts in theatre and performance, as well as interculturalism more broadly, both of which have often been silent on issues of race ... Price's vision is ultimately an optimistic one: the possibility of racial coalition in moving bodies." --Broderick D. V. Chow, Performance Research, "Black Dragon finally brings to light the underexamined legacy of Black/Asian American cultural history in American martial arts." --Karen Shimakawa, author of National Abjection: The Asian American Body Onstage, "The most comprehensive and thorough treatment of Afro Asian martial arts to date." --Bill Mullen, author of Afro-Orientalism

Synopsis
In Black Dragon: Afro Asian Performance and the Martial Arts Imagination , Zachary F. Price illuminates martial arts as a site of knowledge exchange between Black, Asian, and Asian American people and cultures to offer new insights into the relationships among these historically marginalized groups. Drawing on case studies that include Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's appearance in Bruce Lee's film Game of Death , Ron van Clief and the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, the Wu-Tang Clan, and Chinese American saxophonist Fred Ho, Price argues that the regular blending and borrowing between their distinct cultural heritages is healing rather than appropriative. His analyses of performance, power, and identity within this cultural fusion demonstrate how, historically, urban working-class Black men have developed community and practiced self-care through the contested adoption of Asian martial arts practice. By directing his analysis to this rich but heretofore understudied vein of American cultural exchange, Price not only broadens the scholarship around sites of empowerment via such exchanges but also offers a compelling example of nonessentialist emancipation for the twenty-first century., Deploys martial arts as a lens to analyze performance, power, and identity within the evolving fusion of Black and Asian American cultures in history and media.

Seller Feedback (353,524)
- 8***5 (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.
