The book “follows the money” to investigate the cultural\, social\, economic\, and political conditions of diaspora giving. She takes an interdisciplinary approach to reveal how power operates through this charity and the ways the global economic and cultural dimensions of this practice reinforce racial subordination and neocolonialism. Giving Back explores how this charity can stabilize overlapping systems of inequality as well as the contradictions of corporate social responsibility programs in the diaspora.” \nIf you would like more information about this event\, you can click here. \nTo RSVP for this event\, you can click here. \nWe hope to see you there!

It focuses on the non-linear figurations of the sex worker and the lesbian in Kerala\, a state in Southern India\, and the fractured processes of staging the politics of sexuality. The book moves back and forth from the post-1990s to the pre-1990s interlinking different forms\, texts\, genres and events in order to show how sexual subjects are not finished portraits\, nor silenced bodies eager to claim visibility and recognition. Rather\, the transactions between the subject and the figure point to the breaks in the conception of a cohesive\, visible and agential political actor.\nThis book brings a substantial body of Malayalam-language scholarship\, literature\, and\, media texts on gender\, sexuality\, and social justice (which do not usually travel across the language divide) into conversation with current debates around sexuality studies and transnational feminism in the Asian and Anglo-American academia. It puts forward a reading practice that examines public cultures of sexuality in Kerala\, ‘a small place’ in the geopolitical dynamics of the nation and the globe\, as the site for theorizing the political. It posits the regional as the ground through which questions can be asked about the past\, present and futures of sexuality politics in India.

He then went on to work with the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) . He joined their Third World Coalition national staff and became AFSC’s National Representative for Native American Affairs\, a position he held for 31 years. He is currently on the boards for Asian Americans United\, and the Folk-Arts Cultural Treasures Charter School both in Philadelphia\, and Seabrook Educational and Cultural Center in New Jersey. \nQuote by Ed Nakawatase :“Racism remains deeply rooted in American society…I am encouraged by the anti-racist movement that now includes a full spectrum of people of color\, as well as an unprecedented number of white people who now see themselves as antiracists in the struggle. I believe that Black Lives Matter is a continuation of the civil rights movement and applaud its militancy and energy. They seem much like SNCC in that way. They most certainly are part of the long civil rights movement.” \nMarion Kwan was active with the Delta Ministry from 1965-66 in Hattiesburg\, Mississippi. She returned home to the San Francisco Bay area where she worked in jobs and roles involved with grass-roots organizing\, social protests and education such as Chinatown YWCA Young Adult Program Director\, Peace Caravan with the American Friends Service Committee\, social work with International Rescue Committee in Hong Kong\, anti-Vietnam War protests\, academic counselor for low-income students at City College of San Francisco\, trainer for Community Boards\, Inc. a dispute-resolution neighborhoods program; consultant for Stanford Intercultural Communications Institute. She is now retired and is an active member of San Francisco Bay Area Veterans of the Civil Rights Movement. \nQuote by Marion Kwan :“There is hope. For a while I thought the “Movement” stopped altogether\, but the Movement is “moving again.” I saw it on the day after President Trump’s Inauguration in January 2017\, in the Million Women March in Oakland – where I couldn’t believe that I saw a young Asian father with his wife and baby in tow in a baby stroller\, among the crowd of multiracial\, multi-generational\, including young men and their girlfriends\, and LGBTQ demonstrators. We also now have spotlights on younger people throughout the world (so much more aware of the deterioration of our planet than I ever was in my generation) – the Sunrise Movement (youth for climate change) and March for Our Lives (student led against gun violence). Are Asian Americans ready for building connections and becoming more openly present in society?” \nKabzuag Vaj is the Founder and co-Executive Director of Freedom Inc based in Madison\, Wisconsin. She is a strong believer that those who are most deeply impacted must be at the forefront of the movement. Those who are most impacted must have opportunities and resources to advocate for themselves and tell their own stories. In the past 20 years\, Kabzuag has spent her life working to build collective power and social change within Southeast Asian and Black communities. She was recognized as a Champion of Change at the White House during Domestic Violence Awareness month in 2011\, and was named one of “20 Women of Color in Politics to Watch in 2020” by She the People. Her first love is the movement. \nModerator: Kelly N.

Young Research Library\, Main Conference Room\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Manu Karuka will give an overview of his new book\, Empire’s Tracks: Indigenous Nations\, Chinese Workers\, and the Transcontinental Railroad(University of California Press\, 2019).  Empire’s Tracks boldly reframes the history of the transcontinental railroad from the perspectives of the Cheyenne\, Lakota\, and Pawnee Native American tribes\, and the Chinese migrants who toiled on its path. In this meticulously researched book\, Karuka situates the railroad within the violent global histories of colonialism and capitalism. Through an examination of legislative\, military\, and business records\, Karuka deftly explains the imperial foundations of U.S. political economy. Tracing the shared paths of Indigenous and Asian American histories\, this multi-sited interdisciplinary study connects military occupation to exclusionary border policies\, a linked chain spanning the heart of U.S. imperialism. \n\nBio: Manu Karuka is an assistant professor of American Studies at Barnard College. His work centers a critique of imperialism\, with a particular focus on anti-racism and Indigenous decolonization.\nPlease RSVP to the talk for an accurate headcount.\nFollowing the talk\, Dr. Karuka will be hosting a workshop for students from 5:00-6:00pm in Rolfe 2125.  Snacks will be provided.
