Nothing but My Own Whole Body”
There Is Always Tomorrow (1997).A vivid, rule-breaking, highly social form that thrived in specialized clubs, Kaiko haiku began in Tokyo in the early 1900s and was brought by young emigrant writers to California, where it was transformed and almost erased by Japanese American incarceration
The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care, and Racial Justice
"The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care, and Racial Justice is a community manifesto of essays, poems, recipes, and art describing people who stepped up in the absence of government leadership. In March 2020, when the US government failed to provide personal protective equipment in the face of COVID-19, the Auntie Sewing Squad emerged to meet a critical need--sewing masks--and to critique the US government failure to protect t…
The Refugee’s Now
86 Portfolio Curated by Mai- Linh K. Hong The Refugee’s Now: The Art and Advocacy of Matt Huynh There is no newness to the existence of refugees, but a feeling of nowness distinguishes each articulation of refugee life.

Immediacy is the advocate- arti…

Bringing to bear insights from critical refugee studies, I argue that today’s global refugee regime is a gatekeeping apparatus that protects Global North wealth and borders, though this function is masked by humanitarian narratives. UNHCR articles and Mohsin Hamid’s novel Exit West, while contrasting examples, both demonstrate the frau…

The article focuses on two texts, a National Public Radio special series about a US naval ship (2010) and Thanhha Lai’s Inside Out & Back Again (2011), which recounts a Viet…
Get Your Asphalt Off My Ancestors!”
By treating spatial conflict as one way communities wrestle with the memory and legacy of slavery, this article unites critical landscape analysis, a tool of legal geography, with legal and cultural analysis and recent scholarship on African American reparations. A slave cemetery lay beneath a parking lot in Shockoe Bottom, a neighborhood of downtown Richmond that was once a major slave-trading hub. In recent years, controversy arose over the sit…
