Asian Canada Is Burning: Theories, Methods, Pedagogies, and Praxes: Studies in Critical Social Sciences, cartea 299

Rose Ann Torres, Ian Liujia Tian, Coly Chau
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 feb 2025
Asian Canada is Burning is an invitation to trouble the mobilization of “anti-Asian hate” in the aftermath of COVID-19 pandemic. Bringing together activists, organizers, academic, and artists, this book explores the historical and contemporary conditions that make theorizing “Asian Canadian” feasible. Grounded in a transnational queer and feminist lens, this book also aims to envision possible futures and solidarities. Ultimately, this collection is concerned with moments and places of tensions, confrontations, relations, and solidarity. We offer stories of insurgent encounters as people who identify as “Asian” navigate and implicate settler colonial nation-state to make new dreams, histories and intimacies.

Recenzii

"This compelling anthology gathers vital perspectives on why solidarity matters, and how it offers us ways to live ethically, placing love and respect at the heart of our lifeworlds. In sharing stories, perspectives, and values that challenge and resist unjust, oppressive structures, the contributors light a path for us to think and act towards the worlds we need, worlds joyfully and tearfully built together through struggle, study and stamina."
- Rita Wong, Associate Professor, Emily Carr University of Art + Design

"Burning with passion and intelligence, this anthology showcases a new generation of scholars and activists working in Asian Canadian Studies. Combining strong academic rigour with deeply personal perspectives, the book examines the complexity of colonial and diasporic histories, the intimate relationality amongst racial, sexual, and gendered embodiments, and the challenges and joy of building solidarity across identities. Asian Canada Is Burning shines both as an inspired reexamination of the field and a handbook of praxis in organizing for a more just future."
- Helen Hok-Sze Leung. Professor, Simon Fraser University

"Asian Canada is Burning is an intellectually incisive, politically committed and timely contribution! The artists, activists and academics whose stories and analyses populate the volume’s pages expand what and how we know, and beautifully showcase the ambitious and capacious praxis of Asian Canadian critique as a scholarly formation and social justice project. I am immensely thankful for this beautiful and necessary gift!"- John Paul Catungal, Assistant Professor, Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice, University of British Columbia
