This is a great idea for a thematic comp.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenChina never produced anything of musical worth though Japan had more idea
The use of Chinese type sounds is always interesting and could even be heard in the 80s when an English band called Japan (who made great use of Eastern rhythms) made their name in Japan but remained a cult in the States.
The usual hand held image of China and Japan is of 2 similar nations but Japan were at War with China for at least 200 years and it only culminated when they formed an alliance with the States after being given amnesty for their war crimes againt the Chinese (the experiments with biological warfare)
If Randy Weston, James Newton, Paul Robeson, & Max Roach could hear the similarities between Chinese folk musics and the blues, then how seriously can one accept a statement like "China never produced anything of musical worth?"
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLike the songs on this thematic compilation, family cat's comments are more revealing for his / her own fantasies and projections of Asia than of anything actually substantial about the region's history & culture.
The sad aspect of such a revelation is that the ignorant never figure this out for themselves, and continue to perpetuate distortions and stereotypes of those they know little about.
In sum, the "My Chinese Girl" collection is intriguing not for what it says about Asians, but for what it says about white and black Americans who, as socialized subjects in a white supremacist society, continue to use pop culture to define whiteness as a norm or standard by highlighting what is so different (i.e. "exotic") about so-called Others.
Yes, cultural studies is good for something.
sincerely,
