A unique blend of cultural history and biography, Like Water unearths the cultural strands that Lee intertwined in his rise to a new kind of global stardom. Moving from the gold rush in California and the British occupation of Hong Kong, to the Cold War and the deployment of American troops across Asia, Maeda builds depth and complexity to this larger-than-life figure. His cultural chronology of Bruce Lee reveals Lee to be both a product of his time and a harbinger of a more connected future. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNearly Half a Century After His Tragic Death, Bruce Lee Remains an Inspiring Symbol of Innovation and Determination\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eNearly half a century after his tragic death, Bruce Lee remains an inspiring symbol of innovation and determination, with an enduring legacy as the first Asian American global superstar. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 678g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 162 x 238 x 31 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781479812868\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daryl Joji Maeda","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44095753617658,"sku":"9781479812868","price":23.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1659728985342_book.jpg?v=1659984057","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/like-water-a-cultural-history-of-bruce-lee-9781479812868","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
