WSQ: Asian Diasporas
Volume 47, Numbers 1 & 2: Spring/Summer 2019
An interdisciplinary exploration of Asian diasporas as gendering spaces that host uneven movements of bodies, identities, histories, and hegemonies.
Edited by Lili Shi & Yadira Perez Hazel, this issue of the award-winning academic journal decenters the Global North. It foregrounds gender in varied inquiries of Asian diasporas as comparative times and spaces. Scholars engage interdisciplinary approaches to examine the under-visited Asian diasporas, against the dominant narratives of identity, agency, migration, settlement, and Black-and-White notions of race.
