Jane:

You might want to look at:

        Pounds, Micheal C., 1950-
                Race in space : the representation of ethnicity in Star trek and Star trek, the
                next generation / Micheal C. Pounds.
                Lanham, Md. : Scarecrow Press, c1999.

The focus is on the TV programs, but the text, and the 7 pages of bibliography may lead you to other thoughts, other sources.

> Hello,
> I was wondering if anyone could lead me to articles and/or books dealing with race and performance in popular media (specifically, how race gets performed through visual tropes and aesthetic styles). Also,  general literature dealing with race and ethnicity in mainstream science fiction films. I'm particularly interested in work that has been done (if any) on these issues as they might relate to the construction or appropriation of Asian or Asian American identity.
