520    "Warrior Women considers the significance of Chinese 
       female action stars in martial arts films produced across 
       a range of national and transnational contexts. Lisa 
       Funnell examines the impact of the 1997 transfer of Hong 
       Kong from British to Chinese rule on the representation of
       Chinese identities--Hong Kong Chinese, mainland Chinese, 
       Chinese American, Chinese Canadian--in action films 
       produced domestically in Hong Kong and, increasingly, in 
       cooperation with mainland China and Hollywood. Hong Kong 
       cinema has offered space for the development of 
       transnational Chinese screen identities that challenge the
       racial stereotypes historically associated with the Asian 
       female body in the West. The ethnic/national 
       differentiation of transnational Chinese female stars--
       such as Pei Pei Cheng, Charlene Choi, Gong Li, Lucy Liu, 
       Shu Qi, Michelle Yeoh, and Zhang Ziyi--is considered part 
       of the ongoing negotiation of social, cultural, and 
       geopolitical identities in the Chinese-speaking world."--
