Media Representation Of Asian Americans And Asian Native New Yorkers’ Hybrid Persona, Min Huh
Media Representation Of Asian Americans And Asian Native New Yorkers’ Hybrid Persona, Min Huh

This dissertation details the ways in which two distinct models of politics — the politics of authenticity and the politics of theatricality — have influenced political rhetoric and activity in America and beyond. The focus on authenticity in politics goes back to the ancients, yet it has taken on greater political significance in the modern era.
