Through her analysis of a wide range of texts and cultural phenomena–including Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific and The King and I, James Michener’s travel essays and novel Hawaii, and Eisenhower’s People-to-People Program–Klein shows how U.S. policy makers, together with middlebrow artists, writers, and intellectuals, created a culture of global integration that represented the growth of U.S. power in Asia as the forging of emotionally satisfying bonds between Americans and Asians.
