Join UIC’s Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy (IRRPP) and co-sponsors Black Studies, Sociology and Global Asian Studies for an online conversation with UC Irvine Professor Claire Jean Kim about her third book, Asian Americans in an Anti-Black World, which provides a theoretically provocative analysis of how we must consider both anti-Blackness and white supremacy--and the articulation of the two forces--in order to understand US racial dynamics and where Asian Americans fit into the racial order. As Dr. Kim articulates, the construction of Asian Americans as not-white but above all not-Black has determined their positionality for nearly two centuries. How Asian Americans choose to respond to this status will help to define racial politics in the US in the twenty-first century.
Registration is required.
About the series: Events in the Legacies of Racism series deepen our understanding of the challenges and possibilities of policy efforts to address longstanding racial inequality. Legacies of Racism events build on the themes from our State of Racial Justice in Chicago reports and explore the recent and historic origins of racial and ethnic inequities and ask questions about what it means to try to repair systematic harm done to people and communities.
