Drawing on more than 120 interviews and illustrated with striking images from guerrilla movement publications, the book evokes the feeling of growing up alien in a society rendered in black and white, and recalls the intricate memories and meanings of the Asian American movement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f87d66914e6b2a2c51b657/1530220617415-1HMAF81X5DKNRY65JGJQ/HawaiianBlood.jpg History - J. Kehaulani Kauanui (2008) Hawaiian Blood: Colonialism and the Politics of Sovereignty and Indigeneity In the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act (HHCA) of 1921, the U.S. Congress defined “native Hawaiians” as those people “with at least one-half blood quantum of individuals inhabiting the Hawaiian Islands prior to 1778.” This “blood logic” has since become an entrenched part of the legal system in Hawai‘i. J. Kēhaulani Kauanui is a comprehensive history and analysis of this federal law that equates Hawaiian cultural identity with a quantifiable amount of blood—a legal classification that undermines Native Hawaiian (Kanaka Maoli) sovereignty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f87d66914e6b2a2c51b657/1530220617080-V0R586X7HYHMAN1IIOUO/PassingitOnYuri.jpg History - Yuri Kochiyama (2004) Passing it On: A Memoir The account of an extraordinary Asian American woman who spoke out and fought shoulder-to-shoulder with African Americans, Native Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, and Whites for social justice, civil rights, and prisoners and women's rights in the United States and internationally for over half a century. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f87d66914e6b2a2c51b657/1530220617113-U928I6KINZUSZPD2Q64R/Koshy_SexualNaturalization.jpg History - Susan Koshy (2005) Sexual Naturalization Asian Americans and Miscegenation In the first major interdisciplinary study of Asian-white miscegenation from the late nineteenth to the end of the twentieth century, Koshy traces the shifting gender and racial hierarchies produced by antimiscegenation laws, and their role in shaping cultural norms. Not only did these laws foster the reproduction of the United States as a white nation, they were paralleled by extraterritorial privileges that facilitated the sexual access of white American men to Asian women overseas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f87d66914e6b2a2c51b657/1530220700470-2B3N8NING1OEATW3MI0F/Lee_MakingofAsianAmerica.jpg History - Erika Lee (2015) The Making of Asian America: A History This book tells the little-known history of Asian Americans and their role in American life, from the arrival of the first Asians in the Americas to the present-day.

Okihiro (1994) Margins and Mainstreams A collection of six essays that challenge the Eurocentrism and other biases of Asian American social studies, and that explore gender and sexual politics within the Asian American community by arguing for a centering of Asian American women as well as greater consideration of the intersections of Asian America with Black and Latinx history and politics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f87d66914e6b2a2c51b657/1530220619233-J972Z1QI32UVKJ72O77W/Okihiro_Unbound.jpg History - Gary Y. Okihiro (2015) American History Unbound: Asians and Pacific Islanders American History Unbound reveals our past through the lens of Asian American and Pacific Islander history. In so doing, it is a work of both history and anti-history, a narrative that fundamentally transforms and deepens our understanding of the United States. Okihiro positions Asians and Pacific Islanders within a larger history of people of color in the United States and places the United States in the context of world history and oceanic worlds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f87d66914e6b2a2c51b657/1530220619000-SPJJDHKFXBHERYP56E2O/Stoler_CarnalKnowledge.jpeg History - Ann Laura Stoler (2010) Carnal Knowledge and Imperial Power Tracking matters of intimacy to investigate matters of state in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Indonesia, Stoler argues that social classification is not a benign cultural act but a potent political one. These essays examine the critical role played by sexual arrangements and affective attachments in creating colonial categories and distinguishing the ruler from the ruled. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f87d66914e6b2a2c51b657/1530220618653-0CL043BN9MP7H6EN50CF/Takaki_StrangersFromDifferentShore.jpg History - Ronald Takaki (1998) Strangers from a Different Shore: A History of Asian Americans Blending narrative history, personal recollection, & oral testimony, this book presents a sweeping history of Asian Americans. Takaki writes of the Chinese who laid tracks for the transcontinental railroad, of plantation laborers in the canefields of Hawaii, of "picture brides" marrying strangers in the hope of becoming part of the American dream. He tells stories of Japanese Americans behind the barbed wire of U.S. internment camps during World War II, Hmong refugees tragically unable to adjust to Wisconsin's alien climate & culture, & Asian American students stigmatized by the stereotype of the "model minority." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f87d66914e6b2a2c51b657/1530220619023-MXGIOB69WO49DZBIQJ79/Rafael_WhiteLove.jpg History - Vicente L. Rafael (2000) White Love and Other Events in Filipino History This book examines the period from the onset of U.S. colonialism in 1898 to the emergence of a Filipino diaspora in the 1990s. With a focus on the contradictions and ironies that suffuse Filipino history, Rafael delineates the multiple ways that colonialism has both inhabited and enabled the nationalist discourse of the present. His topics range from the colonial census of 1903-1905, in which a racialized imperial order imposed by the United States came into contact with an emergent revolutionary nationalism, to the pleasures and anxieties of nationalist identification as evinced in the rise of the Marcos regime. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f87d66914e6b2a2c51b657/1530220711035-9C13Y6EQX3OZFY06GQ4Y/Wu_ColorofSuccess.jpg History - Ellen Wu (2015) The Color of Success: Asian Americans and the Origins of the Model Minority Wu demonstrates that the invention of the model minority took place in multiple arenas, such as battles over zoot suiters leaving wartime internment camps, the juvenile delinquency panic of the 1950s, Hawaii statehood, and the African American freedom movement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f87d66914e6b2a2c51b657/1530220618380-YBLM8C8CJ929JHI0OXT0/Yung_UnboundFeet.jpg History - Judy Yung (1995) Unbound Feet: A Social History of Chinese Women in San Francisco A comprehensive history of the powerful Chinese American women’s movement that arose in the Bay Area in the early 20th century. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f87d66914e6b2a2c51b657/1530220618620-TTGXQ3NXKELMMT3K4773/Zia_AsianAmericanDreams.jpg History - Helen Zia (2000) Asian American Dreams: The Emergence of an American People This book describes the transformation of Asian Americans from small, disconnected, largely invisible ethnic groups into a self-identified racial group that is influencing every aspect of American society. It explores the junctures that shocked Asian Americans into motion and shaped a new consciousness, including the murder of Vincent Chin, a Chinese American, by two white autoworkers who believed he was Japanese; the apartheid-like working conditions of Filipinos in the Alaska canneries; the boycott of Korean American greengrocers in Brooklyn; the Los Angeles riots; and the casting of non-Asians in the Broadway musical Miss Saigon. https://www.asianamfeminism.org/leadership daily 0.75 2023-05-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f87d66914e6b2a2c51b657/1563464563533-GMTTFRWMITD2ERLQG3YO/SaloneeBioPic.png Leadership Salonee Bhaman (she/her) is a scholar and historian who writes, thinks, and teaches about work, housing, care-giving, sexuality, and immigration.

Asian American Feminist Roundtable on Media for World-Building Documenting, Archiving, Amplifying In this roundtable, the Asian American Feminist Collective (AAFC) recollects our history as it has been encompassed and communicated through various forms of media. This roundtable reflects notes, commentaries, and discussions from various workshops and events that we have assembled on feminist media and histories, as well as from less visible archives of meeting notes and draft documents. Our conversation came together in the spring of 2021 in the midst of multiple ongoing and unrelenting crises. Our various communities continue to experience grief and loss throughout the COVID-19 pandemic while also reckoning with the tenuous politics of solidarity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f87d66914e6b2a2c51b657/1589919777584-FYRFHN2S5JG9R9IYSM0G/READINGLIST.jpg Resources - Black + Asian American Feminist Solidarities A Reading List with Black Women Radicals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f87d66914e6b2a2c51b657/1530225190270-CMHTIDW3JBB9PIVMHB2V/goodmuslimbadmuslim.jpg Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f87d66914e6b2a2c51b657/1530225191501-G6U73KJJ63VMASWB18H8/TDS_podcast.png Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f87d66914e6b2a2c51b657/1530225190903-KN2Z8C6FMROY834GVYVS/NancyKathyTu.jpeg Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f87d66914e6b2a2c51b657/1530233616474-LD875OMQ8PUJ089F6EGC/codeswitch.png Resources https://www.asianamfeminism.org/press daily 0.75 2022-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f87d66914e6b2a2c51b657/554ce22c-2164-4abf-90ac-229ad4c5e9b3/20180616_AAFC-514.jpeg Press - 14 Powerful Portraits Showing the Diversity of Asian-American Feminism Tiffany Diane Tso, Broadly, September 5, 2018 https://www.asianamfeminism.org/contact-us daily 0.75 2022-04-11 https://www.asianamfeminism.org/submit daily 0.75 2019-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f87d66914e6b2a2c51b657/1561584396170-W8FTORAGPM9G6PLJXGN0/realimagined.jpg Submit - #2: REAL/IMAGINED CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS OPEN UNTIL SEPTEMBER 1. At our “Building An Asian American Feminist Movement” workshop at this year’s AAAS Conference, we asked participants to share out their visions for an ideal feminist future, as well as the tangible ways that we can enact our political commitments in order to bring us closer to these imagined futures. The imagination is an important tool in the activism space, and stories can offer us pathways towards new, liberatory possibilities. While our realities are far from dreams, we continue to fight for our imagined equitable, feminist futures. Our pasts, presents and futures are made from myths, fantasies, parables, dreams and speculation. As we dream toward better, more just futures, our dreams and imagination blend into our advocacy and activism work. What do you dream about? How does your reality differ from your imagination? How do we (re)imagine connections with each other, our ancestors, and our planet? What does it mean when reality and imagination blur together? Submit writing and images to aafcollective@gmail.com with the subject line ‘SUBMISSION: Real/Imagined [Author Name]’ by September 1, 2019. Text can be pasted into the body of the email or sent as a .docx or .pdf attachment. Please send a bio and your preferred accompanying image in .jpg, .gif, or .png format.
