In the years following World War II, American writers and artists produced a steady stream of popular stories about Americans living, working, and traveling in Asia and the Pacific. Meanwhile the U.S., competing with the Soviet Union for global power, extended its reach into Asia to an unprecedented degree. This book reveals that these trends - the proliferation of Orientalist culture and the expansion of U.S. power - were linked in complex and surprising ways. While most cultural historians of the Cold War have focused on the culture of containment, Christina Klein reads the postwar period as one of international economic and political integration - a distinct chapter in the process of U.S.-led globalization. Through her analysis of a wide range of texts and cultural phenomena - including Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific and The King and I, James Michener's travel essays and novel Hawaii, and Eisenhower's People-to-People Program - Klein shows how U.S. policy makers, together with middlebrow artists, writers, and intellectuals, created a culture of global integration that represented the growth of U.S. power in Asia as the forging of emotionally satisfying bonds between Americans and Asians. Her book enlarges Edward Said's notion of Orientalism in order to bring to light a cultural narrative about both domestic and international integration that still resonates today.

annotated bib. 不喜欢“middlebrow"这样的用法，除此之外，感觉史料的选择(cultural turn)还是很有趣的。
评分几年前在课上读过 Musicals and Modernization: The King and I 文章对音乐剧《国王与我》的解读非常经典。最近读《东方学》，更新了自己对有些问题的认识。之前习惯将意识形态与国家利益因素对立起来，尝尝纠结于为何在很多材料中无法恰当的解读处理意识形态因素。最近上课时读英美外交档案，慢慢想明白，对于意识形态因素的解剖应该构成研究的底色。可能看到的绝大多数的材料无法直接导向到意识形态因素，但并不代表这种因素不存在。意识形态因素与国家利益，这两个问题也许本身就不在一个层次之上。
