“Scholars of Brazilian studies will find King’s analysis to be perceptive and revelatory … the way King moves the discussion of orientalist discourse outside of Brazil and engages in a much broader debate regarding orientalism in its globalized manifestations. … this well-researched book points critics in numerous directions for future research on orientalist discourse in Brazil.” (Rex P. Nielson, Bulletin of Spanish Studies, Vol. 94 (9), 2017)
"Virtual Orientalism in Brazilian Culture is an important addition to the growing body of cultural studies materials in Latin America that move away from dominant anchors in literature and, in recent decades, film. There is so much fascinating cultural material in Latin America to be examined from a systematic and scholarly fashion, and studies like King's provides appropriate models." - David William Foster, Arizona State University, USA"Tracing representations of Japan through an impressive range of media and genres, Virtual Orientalism in Brazilian Culture captures the novelty, tensions, and ambiguities of postmodern orientalism in Brazil. Edward King skillfully reveals the contradictions of a discourse that simultaneously celebrates radical contemporaneity and fluidity while remaining inexorably attached to imagined cultural fixities." - Pedro Erber, author of Breaching the Frame: The Rise of Contemporary Art in Brazil and Japan
