About this product

Product Information

Nordic Exposures explores how Scandinavian whiteness and ethnicity functioned in classical Hollywood cinema between and during the two world wars. Scandinavian identities could seem mutable and constructed at moments, while at other times they were deployed as representatives of an essential, biological, and natural category. As Northern European Protestants, Scandinavian immigrants and emigres assimilated into the mainstream rights and benefits of white American identity with comparatively few barriers or obstacles. Yet Arne Lunde demonstrates that far from simply manifesting a normative unmarked whiteness, Scandinavianness in mass-immigration America and in Hollywood cinema of the twentieth century could be hyperwhite, provisionally off-white, or not even white at all. Lunde investigates key silent films, such as Technicolor's The Viking (1928), Victor Sjostrom's He Who Gets Slapped (1924), and Mauritz Stiller's Hotel Imperial (1927). The crises of Scandinavian foreign voice and the talkie revolution are explored in Greta Garbo's first sound film, Anna Christie (1930). The author also examines Warner Oland's long career of Asian racial masquerade (most famously as Chinese detective Charlie Chan), as well as Hollywood's and Third Reich Cinema's war over assimilating the Nordic female star in the personae of Garbo, Sonja Henie, Ingrid Bergman, Kristina Soderbaum, and Zarah Leander.

Reviews
"An engaging series of case studies that enlarge what we know about immigrant labor in Hollywood; enrich our understanding of the representational history of Scandinavian (hyper)-whiteness, off-whiteness and probationary whiteness; and constitute elucidations of one of the most racially taken-for-granted categories in popular culture" Diane Negra, University College Dublin "Nordic exposuresintroduces an entirely new dimension To The study of Scandinavians in America while also challenging American cultural assumptions and stereotypes about Scandinavians. Lunde demonstrates how cinema can categorise but then quickly challenge ideological presumptions." Terje I Leiren, University of Washington, " Nordic Exposures is a revealing and often amusing examination of racial questions where we least expect them to arise." -Agust Guomundsson , Scandinavian-Canadian Studies , Vol. 20 (2011)
