In response to recent acts of violence against Asian Americans stemming from a long history of anti-Asian sentiment in the United States, we are offering a syllabus to contextualize the experiences of Asian and Pacific Americans. The articles, issues, and books in our Asian/Pacific American Cultures and Histories Syllabus discuss not only complex histories and contemporary experiences of racism and imperialism, but also community formation, solidarity between marginalized groups, and worldmaking possibilities. All journal articles and issues listed are free to read until August 31, 2021, and the introduction to each book is free. Start reading here.
Executive Editor Courtney Berger has a welcome message for AAAS attendees.
Executive Editor Courtney Berger
Greetings, AAAS-ers. The past few weeks have been tough, in the wake of the Atlanta murders and ongoing violence against Asian and Asian American people in the U.S. I’ve been especially grateful to hear the voices of so many AAAS members speaking out against anti-Asian violence and drawing attention to the colonial, racial, and sexual histories that have informed this moment. I stand in solidarity with the Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander communities and with efforts to dismantle racial oppression in all its forms.
I am also looking forward to gathering with you this week to celebrate our amazing (and award-winning) new books and to find out what exciting new projects people have in the works. A special congratulations to this year’s AAAS book award winners and honorable mentions, including Jian Neo Chen, Kandice Chuh, Keith Camacho, Maile Arvin, David Eng, and Shinhee Han. I will be attending the Exhibitor Meet & Greet event tonight and will be at panels throughout the conference. Please feel free to contact me if you have a project you would like to discuss, or you can send me a proposal through our online submission portal.
Registered AAAS attendees can join Courtney Berger and Ken Wissoker for a casual Meet & Greet as part of the Pre-Conference events tonight, Wednesday, April 7, 6:00pm-7:00pm EST. For more details and information on how to attend, check your your pre-conference update email.
If you were hoping to connect with Courtney Berger, Ken Wissoker, or one of our other editors about your book project at AAAS, please reach out to them by email. See our editors’ specialties and contact information here and our online submissions guidelines here.
