Inhaltsangabe

Emerging from mid-century social movements, Civil Rights Era formations, and anti-war protests, Asian American studies is now an established field of transnational inquiry, diasporic engagement, and rights activism. These histories and origin points analogously serve as initial moorings for Flashpoints for Asian American Studies, a collection that considers-almost fifty years after its student protest founding--the possibilities of and limitations inherent in Asian American studies as historically entrenched, politically embedded, and institutionally situated interdiscipline. Unequivocally, Flashpoints for Asian American Studies investigates the multivalent ways in which the field has at times and-more provocatively, has not-responded to various contemporary crises, particularly as they are manifest in prevailing racist, sexist, homophobic, and exclusionary politics at home, ever-expanding imperial and militarized practices abroad, and neoliberal practices in higher education.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

"This is a book I have been waiting to read, especially in the era of and Black Lives Matter and BDS activism and with Trump’s election, as it offers important lessons for faculty, administrators, and students about how Asian American studies can resist the logics of multiculturalism and austerity."—Sunaina Maira, University of California, Davis
