Jane Chi Hyun Park demonstrates how this fantasy is sustained through imagery, iconography, and performance that conflate East Asia with technology, constituting what Park calls oriental style. PRAISE FOR YELLOW FUTURE: "Yellow Future’s emphasis on ‘oriental style’ is interesting and fresh. I can see other scholars in the field picking up this term and running with it, both in their writing and teaching. Jane Chi Hyun Park has written an excellent, useful book."—Lisa Nakamura, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Jane Chi Hyun Park is lecturer in the Department of Gender and Cultural Studies at the University of Sydney in Australia.
