Beschreibung
Global anti-Asian racism, particularly in the guise of Yellow Peril, has endured for centuries around the world. In Europe and the Americas, Asian immigrants and refugees were, and are, treated as threats to national security. Yellow Peril and anti-Asian racism is also found in Africa, Australia, and in Asian nations as well. Wherever Asian immigrants and refugees found themselves, anti-Asian sentiments quickly followed. The contributors to Global Anti-Asian Racism investigate the varied manifestations of prejudice and violence that Asians have endured through the 17th century to the twin pandemics of anti-Asian racism during COVID-19. From historical case studies in Mexico and Brazil to personal ruminations of people who are Asian German, mixed-race Swedish-Japanese, and adopted Korean American, to graphic narratives and poetic explorations, the essays in this volume illuminate the multifaceted nature of global anti-Asian racism and the resilience of Asians across the world to resist and counter this bigotry and bias.
