Product Information

How games have been used to establish and combat Asian American racial stereotypes As Pok mon Go reshaped our neighborhood geographies and the human flows of our cities, mapping the virtual onto lived realities, so too has gaming and game theory played a role in our contemporary understanding of race and racial formation in the United States. From the Chinese Exclusion Act and Japanese American internment to the model minority myth and the globalization of Asian labor, Tara Fickle shows how games and game theory shaped fictions of race upon which the nation relies. Drawing from a wide range of literary and critical texts, analog and digital games, journalistic accounts, marketing campaigns, and archival material, Fickle illuminates the ways Asian Americans have had to fit the roles, play the game, and follow the rules to be seen as valuable in the US. Exploring key moments in the formation of modern US race relations, The Race Card charts a new course in gaming scholarship by reorienting our focus away from games as vehicles for empowerment that allow people to inhabit new identities, and toward the ways that games are used as instruments of soft power to advance top-down political agendas. Bridging the intellectual divide between the embedded mechanics of video games and more theoretical approaches to gaming rhetoric, Tara Fickle reveals how this intersection allows us to overlook the predominance of game tropes in national culture. The Race Card reveals this relationship as one of deep ideological and historical intimacy: how the games we play have seeped into every aspect of our lives in both monotonous and malevolent ways.

Reviews
Revealing the orientalist origins of game studies and locating the very tenants of game theory in Japanese internment, Tara Fickle engages racialization as game-play itself. In doing so, Fickle explodes our understanding of economic survival and success by revealing the centrality of gambling rhetoric--and a willingness for risk-taking--in the appraisal of Japanese Americans as the ultimate model minority. An original and timely intervention that at last accounts for the dominant representation of Asian Americans as both the hard-worker and the obsessed gamer., Revealing the mutual constitution of gaming and racialization, Serious Play 's concept of 'ludo-Orientalism' offers a significant new way of understanding the historical discourse of Asian exclusionism, as well as more subtle forms of post-1960s anti-Asian racism. Focusing on representations of Asian Americans as pathological players, Fickle shows how racial discourse is linked to the speculative logic of American exceptionalism., Revealing the mutual constitution of gaming and racialization, The Race Card 's concept of 'ludo-Orientalism' offers a significant new way of understanding the historical discourse of Asian exclusionism, as well as more subtle forms of post-1960s anti-Asian racism. Focusing on representations of Asian Americans as pathological players, Fickle shows how racial discourse is linked to the speculative logic of American exceptionalism., Fickle brilliantly illuminates the many facets of games as a rich site of potentiality for thinking about Asian and Asian American identity, and how they co-constitute parts of the same problem. The Race Card is both a scathing excoriation of the Orientalist roots of the study of play and games, and an intellectual framing of games as a critical access point for understanding power relations concerning constructions of Asian identity. Witty, controlled, righteously outraged, inspired and incredibly persuasive, The Race Card sets a new bar for understanding the role of games and play, broadly defined, in the struggle of race relations., Games of chance, video games, and game theory converge in this examination of the relationship between gamification and racialization in exploring the Asian American experience. ... argues that games are used as a form of soft power geared toward advancing an exclusionary view of national identity.
