by ShaliniShankar (Author)
Anthropologist Shalini Shankar explores how racial and ethnic differences are created and commodified through advertisements and marketing. Focusing on Asian American ad firms, she describes the day-to-day process of creating ads and argues that advertising has framed Asian Americans as "model consumers," thereby legitimizing their presence in American popular culture.
