About this product
Product Information
In The Movies of Racial Childhoods Celine Parreñas Shimizu examines early twenty-first-century cinematic representations of Asian and Asian American children. Drawing on psychoanalysis and her own perspective as a mother grieving for a deceased child, Shimizu considers how cinema renders Asian American children through sexualized racial difference, infantilization, and premature adultification. She looks at how Asian American childhood is characterized in film through experiences of alienation and trauma and contends that childhood development requires finding freedom and self-sovereignty through agentic attunement. In analyzing films that focus on queer Asian American youth such as Spa Night (2016) and Driveways (2019) and those that explore the trauma of being an immigrant like Yellow Rose (2019) and The Half of It (2020), Shimizu demonstrates that films can prompt viewers to evaluate their own childhood development. They also allow the opportunity to understand the demands placed upon Asian American children, particularly in regard to race and sexuality. In this way, cinema becomes a vehicle for empowering our inner child and the children all around us.

Reviews
The relative absence of Asian Americans on the silver screen makes their representation something we cannot not want. In this profound and personal meditation, Celine Parreñas Shimizu cautions us not to assume that representation and belonging go hand in hand. Instead, she analyzes depictions of childhood in Asian American cinema as occasions for working through the psychic traumas that overdetermine our social attachments from the very moment we are born into a world of racial loss and grief., The Movies of Racial Childhoods is like nothing I have ever read. It is a document of a mother grieving, a film scholar theorizing the healing work of narrative cinema, and a filmmaker who understands that 'trauma demands representation so as to create new realities.' Celine Parreñas Shimizu's writing about the death of her child and her devotion to film is both tender and revelatory. Interweaving psychoanalysis, Asian American studies, trauma theory, cinema studies, and personal narrative, Shimizu cultivates space for us to collectively grieve and to reawaken the possibilities of childhood dreaming., The relative absence of Asian Americans on the silver screen makes their representation something we cannot not want.
