Analogous to the term blackface, yellowface means to color your face yellow in order to appear Asian. Metaphorically speaking, that’s exactly what protagonist Juniper Song does in the 2023 novel by Rebecca Kuang titled Yellowface. Book Mole Patricia Kullberg reviews this biting satire of racism and cultural appropriation in the world of US publishing.
