Perpetually Cool: The Many Lives of Anna May Wong (1905-1961): summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Perpetually Cool: The Many Lives of Anna May Wong (1905-1961)" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Anna May Wong was an extraordinary Asian American woman who became the countrys most famous film actress of Chinese descent. From small parts in silent films to starring roles in Hollywood and across the Atlantic, Wong made an impression on audiences of all persuasions. In Perpetually Cool, Anthony Chan takes the reader on a compelling journey through Wongs early years in Los Angeles and her first Hollywood pictures. Chan also examines the scope and nature of race, gender, and power and their impact on Wongs personal growth as a Chinese American.
Perpetually Cool is not only the captivating story of a cinematic career, but also of roots and identity, as it recounts Wongs desire to connect with her heritage in the United States and in China. Chan provides extensive textual analyses of Wongs signature films, especially The Toll of the Sea (1922), The Thief of Bagdad (1924) with Douglas Fairbanks, and her most famous role as Hui Fei in Shanghai Express (1932), opposite Marlene Dietrich. Perpetually Cool is a fitting tribute to the influence of this Chinese American icon.
