As he put it himself\, “I want to be shown as I re ally am\, and not as fiction paints me….My one ambition is to play a her o.” \n\nNinety-nine years later\, Asians and Asian Americans have a muc h greater presence in U.S. popular culture — but they are often represen ted in ways that Hayakawa would recognize and lament: Silent thugs. Sexles s nerds. Predatory temptresses\, calculating conspirators and impossibly s trange foreigners.\n\nOrganized by Jeff Yang\, <em>Wall Street Journal</e m> Online columnist and editor-in-chief of the new graphic novel antholog y <a href="http://siun.org/shatteredbook"><em>SHATTERED</em></a>\, which uses the medium of the comics to explore and explode unyielding stereotype s of Asians in pop culture\, BEYOND THE BAD AND THE UGLY gathers together some of the brightest and most interesting Asian American creators\, and c ritics\, activists and academics in a unique one-day summit that begins by looking back at the heritage of Asian images in American media and societ y\, and ends by looking ahead — discussing new ways to prevent distortio ns and present more vivid\, humanized\, three-dimensional portraits of Asi ans and Asian Americans to a wider and more accepting audience.\n\n<strong >Pricing:</strong>\n\nSTUDENTS: $15 \nGENERAL ADMISSION: $25 \nVIP ADMIS SION: $35 (includes reserved seating and one copy of SHATTERED: THE ASIAN AMERICAN COMICS ANTHOLOGY — COVER PRICE $21.95!)\n\n[All admission fees come with one collectible GEEK/THUG/TEASE/PLAYER/FOB button of your choice ]\n\n<a href="http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/349110" target="_blan k">Purchase tickets &gt\;&gt\;</a>\n<a href="http://www.brownpapertickets. com/event/349110" target="_blank"></a>*JANM MEMBERS: Members receive $5 o ff of their tickets!
