Off-white Hollywood is written by Diane Negra and published by Psychology Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0415216788 (ISBN 10) and 9780415216784 (ISBN 13).

Off-White Hollywood investigates how the 'ethnicity' of white European-American actresses has played a key role in the mythology of American identity and nation building. Negra focuses on key stars of the silent - Colleen Moore and Pola Negri - classical - Sonja Henie and Hedy Lamarr - and post-classical eras - Marisa Tomei and Cher - to demonstrate how each star illuminates aspects of ethnicity, gender, consumerism, and class at work in American culture.
