This thesis examines the visual culture of anti-Asian bias in the United States through a comparative analysis of three events: the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, Executive Order 9066 of 1942, and the Coronavirus pandemic of 2019. While a significant portion of visual culture heightens anti-Asian bias through the perpetual foreigner stereotype, visual materials that resist such prejudice also become increasingly overt and visible over time.The introduction provides a brief history of Asian immigration in the United States, beginning with Chinese laborers who entered the country in 1850, and continuing to the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act which led to a dramatic increase in Asian immigration to the United States. The field and methodology of visual culture are also introduced, along with a brief literature review. The subsequent chapters each deal with an event in United States history related to anti-Asian bias in which the visual culture plays a role in the perception of Asian Americans. Chapter 2 addresses the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and its surrounding visual culture that both demonizes the Chinese as well as portrays them with ethnographic orientalism. Chapter 3 provides an analysis of visual materials during Executive Order 9066 of 1942, under which Japanese Americans were interned across the Western United States. The visual culture surrounding anti-Asian sentiment during the Coronavirus pandemic is explored in Chapter 4.A close analysis of the visual culture of each of these events provides two concluding points: First, that the negative visual culture surrounding the three events tends to favor the perpetual foreigner stereotype; second, resistance to negative representation becomes increasingly overt and visible over time.
