 's influence beyond martial arts and film</strong>\n\nAn Asian and Asian A
 merican icon of unimaginable stature and influence\, Bruce Lee revolutioni
 zed the martial arts by combining influences drawn from around the world. 
 Uncommonly determined\, physically gifted\, and artistically brilliant\, L
 ee rose to fame as part of a wave of transpacific globalization that bridg
 ed the nearly seven thousand miles between Hong Kong and California. <em>
 Like Water</em> unpacks Lee's global impact\, linking his legendary statu
 s as a martial artist\, actor\, and director to his continual traversals a
 cross the newly interconnected Asia and America.\n\nDaryl Joji Maeda's mul
 tifaceted account of Bruce Lee's legacy uniquely traces how movements and 
 migrations across the Pacific Ocean structured the cultures Bruce Lee inhe
 rited\, the milieu he occupied\, the martial art he developed\, the films 
 he made\, and the world he left behind. A unique blend of cultural history
  and biography\, <em>Like Water </em>unearths the cultural strands that 
 Lee intertwined in his rise to a new kind of global stardom. Moving from t
 he gold rush in California and the British occupation of Hong Kong\, to th
 e Cold War and the deployment of American troops across Asia\, Maeda build
 s depth and complexity to this larger-than-life figure. His cultural chron
 ology of Bruce Lee reveals Lee to be both a product of his time and a harb
 inger of a more connected future.\n\nNearly half a century after his tragi
 c death\, Bruce Lee remains an inspiring symbol of innovation and determin
 ation\, with an enduring legacy as the first Asian American global superst
 ar.\n\nAbout the Author\n\n<strong>Daryl Joji Maeda</strong> is Dean and 
 Vice Provost of Undergraduate Education and Professor of Ethnic Studies at
  the University of Colorado\, Boulder. He is the author of Chains of Babyl
 on: The Rise of Asian America and Rethinking the Asian American Movement.
