Abstract:

The identity of South Asians in the United States has proved to be problematic, both for the self-identification of the group and for the identifying institutions and popular perceptions of the host society. As a result, a certain exceptionalism (commonly indexed as ambiguity) has come to attach itself to the historiography of South Asian American racial formation. This exceptionalism, in turn, has formed the ground for two competing constructions of South Asian American racial identity that wield significant influence today. One view, represented by some of the major immigrant organizations a

Abstract:

Abstract This article considers Richard Fung’s Orientations (1984) as a work of early pan-Asian community organization and self-recognition for lgbtq+ Asian North Americans. Located between the founding of the community as a part of the legacy of Third World Liberation Front and aids activism starting in the mid-1980s, the video was made at a key juncture when visibility and self-affirmation were the main objectives for Asian North American queer communities. The autoethnographic documentary, which has received less scholarly attention than Fung’s video works addressing Asian diasporic sexuali

Abstract:

Pupil for pupil, more has been written about Japanese American students than about those of any other ethnic group in America. They enter into our historical consciousness with the abortive attempt of the San Francisco School Board to segregate Japanese American students in 1906–07 which led to the Gentlemen's Agreement of 1907–08 between the United States and Japan. As Henry Yu has recently reminded us, scholars were fascinated by the achievements of “oriental” students in American schools in the 1920s. Sociologists and educational psychologists, especially at Stanford University and the Univ

Abstract:

Abstract This essay proposes that the invisibility of so-called Gypsies in Middle Eastern and Central Asian historiography derives from two linked phenomena. First, the work of nineteenth- and twentieth-century European and North American philologists, medievalists, and ethnographers delegitimized the languages of the “Strangers,” along with the cultures and histories that these languages expressed. The erasure of Strangers from modern historiography was nearly total. Second, the category of Strangers was transformed in the wake of the Holocaust as Roma activists drew on Nazi racial categories

Abstract:

Recent historiography attempts increasingly to move beyond Eurocentrism. In the field of migration, Adam McKeown's article is a fine example of an attempt to put global migration in a non-Eurocentric perspective. Perhaps its most acute insight is in putting the paradigmatic European migration flows to the Americas in the nineteenth century at par with the mainly intra Asian (south/south-east Asian and north-east Asian) migration flows. McKeown's main target of attack is the unabashed “Euro-centrism” (or rather the “North Atlantic centrism”) of much of the migration literature on the so called

Abstract:

India's agrarian history has for the most part been cast within colonial and nationalist frameworks or in analyses of modernity and development in the South Asian historiography on both sides of the independence divide. This leaves plenty of space to discuss both the vast engagement of American actors with Indian elite formations and modifications to the agrarian projects contingent upon those interactions. A focus on the Americanist drive for agrarian modernization in India allows for exploring the distinct cultural location of modernization in a long-term perspective and its engagement with

Abstract:

In this article I critically engage the Duke theologians of race—Carter, Jennings, and Bantam—devoting attention especially to Jennings. While appreciating and acknowledging the significance of these projects, I critique Jennings’s selective historiography and suggest that engaging the Anglo-American early modern supersessionist theologies of culture and race would have benefitted Jennings’ project. Then I trace out some implications of Jennings’s call to re-engage Israel and examine how his idealized vision of “submersion and in submission to another’s cultural realities” affects the notion o

This chapter discusses South Asian subaltern studies as well as their adaptation by Latin Americanist historian Florencia Mallon and by the Latin American Subaltern Studies Group. It is important to keep in mind the differences between the original projects of South Asian Subaltern Studies Group formulated in terms of querying the “historic failure of the nation to come to its own” and of making clear that, “it is the study of this failure which constitutes the central problematic of the historiography of colonial India.” Although one can say that it is this problematic that engages Mallon's a

Abstract:

Abstract This chapter uses the idea of sympathy as an analytical frame to rethink the literary historiography of the Asian American novel. The genre’s diverse characteristics and functions can be illuminated by three interrelated uses of the term: to make sympathetic, by producing recognizably Asian American subjects capable of eliciting compassion; to be in sympathy, by exploring the possibilities of consonance reflected in such forms as the anthology and the collectively voiced text; and to sympathize, by exploring various processes by which one makes up or compounds something—in this case,

Abstract:

This chapter draws out policy-relevant insights from understanding the Pacific power paradox. It outlines principles of action toward Asia and the broader Indo-Pacific region that are robust across a range of alternative futures. Looking back over the past generation, the chapter also reveals that we can see more than just the three faces of the Pacific power paradox. As the chapter highlights, interpreting history with reference to the Asian peace—and paying attention to the risks and wagers implied in U.S. thinking and statecraft toward it—gives us several other observations relevant both to

This chapter provides background and context on several levels. It discusses the (limited) historiography on African-and-Asian-American cultural intersections, and individually regarding works about each of the two groups in comic books. It explains whiteness as a racialized power structure in which, in Toni Morrison’s words, “American means white.” The chapter examines the history and origins of whiteness theory, from the works of DuBois and Baldwin to the birth of the 1990s critical, academic movement toward fully formulating that theory.

Abstract:

Abstract Tobacco, which originated in the Americas, was one of the early commodities to shape a new imperial history. This chapter highlights recent historiography of tobacco in the Iberian Empires, which from the seventeenth century became embedded in transimperial and transcolonial connections in territories of the Americas, Africa, and Asia. This longue-durée history was one of tobacco monopoly and an Atlantic tobacco system that was integrally tied to the slave trade from Africa to the Americas, extended across the Pacific; was constantly dogged by opposition, illicit trade and smuggling;
