- Abstract
- The Fall 2003 issue of AEMS News and Reviews (Vol. 6, No. 3) presents a vibrant look into Asia and Asian America through the lens of gender, culture, art, and identity. The issue opens with an in-depth interview with acclaimed Korean American filmmaker Dai Sil Kim-Gibson, who discusses her human rights-focused documentaries like Silence Broken, A Forgotten People: The Sakhalin Koreans, Sa-I-Gu, and Wet Sand, emphasizing her unique, narration-free approach to let her subjects' voices prevail. Film reviews include "Women in Japan," which examines the complex lives of six Japanese women navigating modern and traditional roles, shaped by their international experiences. "Transports of Delight: The Ricksha Arts of Bangladesh," a CD-ROM, highlights the colorful street art culture of Bangladeshi rickshaw painters in Dhaka through extensive photos, videos, and essays. "Mai’s America" tells the story of a Vietnamese exchange student's challenging journey through the American South, reflecting on issues of prejudice, culture shock, and self-identity. "Our Nation: A Korean Punk Rock Community" explores the non-didactic and evolving youth culture, dissent, and music within the South Korean punk scene, including its response to societal pressures. Finally, "India News Stories," a three-volume video series, provides an introductory look at Indian history, customs, and religions, though critiqued for its lack of in-depth coverage. Supplementary resources include an overview of The Asia Society and a "Bargain Buys" column on films related to Vietnam's history and transformation.
