Book Talk: Disorienting Politics mines 21st-century media artifacts to make visible the economic, cultural, political, and ecological entanglements of China and the United States. These “Chimerican media,” originating in America but circulating beyond national boundaries, co-create the figure of rising China and demonstrate the ways in which race is embedded in geopolitics even
when the subject of discussion is not the people, but the (Chinese) state.

This event is co-sponsored by the Department of History and the International Studies Program.
