Requests:  0 Summary:  "Bruce Lee embodies the intermixture of cultures that results from transnational flows of people, ideas, and capital. Born in San Francisco and raised in Hong Kong, his life was one of constant shuttling across the Pacific. Rather than being a product of California or China, he was produced by transpacific currents impelled by colonialism, capitalism, and militarism. In his life, career, and films he faced and addressed racism and colonialism. He shattered national, racial, and cultural boundaries in his martial arts practice, personal life, and films. His philosophy of intermixture can be tracked by studying how his fighting style evolved, driven by his ethos of absorbing influences from around the globe. He defied US discrimination against interracial marriage by marrying a white woman and embraced cultural hybridity in raising their children. In Hollywood, he broke ground as an Asian American on television and when racism stymied his career, he revolutionized filmmaking by combining aesthetics and influences drawn from both Hong Kong and Hollywood. Nearly half a century after his tragic death at the age of 32, Bruce Lee continues to inspire people around the globe as a symbol of innovation, determination, and pursuit of justice"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Biography B Lee Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 791.43028 Lee Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.43028 Lee Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Biography B Lee Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Lee Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Biography B Lee Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList
