Sobre IBD

Chinese-American author William Wong Foey proudly announces the release of his fifth novel, Anna May Wong-an inspiring fictional account of the world’s first and only major female Asian movie star.Anna May Wong is the powerful story about one woman’s fight against crushing racism and chauvinism in the era of the 1930s and ’40s. Ms. Wong fought both the major film studios and her own demons for significant screen roles that normally went to white actresses made up to look Asian. It was an era where the only roles available to Asian actresses were those of either stereotypical prostitutes or maids. The reader will learn about one woman’s struggle for her own self-worth against the powerful movie moguls of the Golden Age of movie making, and during the rising Nazism in pre-World War II. This novel is Anna May Wong’s fight song!
