Sean Metzger provides a cultural history of three iconic objects in theatrical and cinematic performance: the queue, or man''s hair braid; the woman''s suit known as the qipao; and the Mao suit. Each object emerges at a pivotal moment in US-China relations, indexing shifts in the balance of power between the two nations.
