Intimacies of Anti Asian Violence

<p><b>A critical engagement with and interrogation of the dominant tropes of racial violence</b></p><p>This volume brings together a diverse cohort of contributors working to trace the genealogies, geographies, and the entanglements of anti-Asian violence. Representing a range of critical perspec­tives, these essays—a collection of works by scholars, students, and community organizers—open up lines of inquiry that unsettle the taken-for-granted framings of anti-Asian violence as simply a matter of ""hate.""<Br><Br><i>Intimacies of Anti-Asian Violence </i>makes crucial connections enabled by transnational, inter­sectional, comparative, and critical lenses, collectively interrogating the complex linkages between imperialist and settler colonial histories, modalities of violence, and the geopolitical formation of Asia and Asianness.<Br><Br>Working through and between a range of critical frameworks, including but not limited to the Black radical tradition, feminist and queer critiques, Indigenous and decolonial perspectives, critical pedagogies, and the anti-caste movement, this volume provides an original and layered interven­tion that strives to complicate the discourse of anti-Asian violence and attends to the multiple and different ways Asia and its diasporas can be located in relation to varied permutations of violence.<Br><Br>Importantly and powerfully, the insights offered in <i>Intimacies of Anti-Asian Violence </i>point toward the possibilities for solidarities and movement-building across racial, ethnic, class, and gendered lines in the contemporary moment.</p>
