Reflections on Asian American Religions: Transformative Hope and Aparri
Reflections on Asian American ReligionsTransformative Hope and APARRI Tamara C. Ho (bio) Despite the long history of Asian American authors writing about religion in US communities since the late 1800s (dating back to one of our earliest authors, Sui Sin Far), Asian American faith communities have been marginalized and persistently misrepresented in the larger public narrative of American religion because of the prevailing focus on white and Blac…
BurmAmerican Foodscapes: Refugee Re-settlement and Resilience
This essay examines the resettlement of Burmese refugees in the United States through the lens of food. Looking specifically at Christian community gardens, corporatized meat processing, a feature film, and nonfiction book, I analyze how Karen refugees have participated in U.S. food economies and investigate processes of selective and serial migration, religion, representation, and community-building. “Critically juxtaposing” two different, altho…
Romancing Human Rights: Gender, Intimacy, and Power between Burma and the West

Instead of being reactionary…

Border Crossing: Feminist Sinologies through a Southeast Asian Lens
Wendy Law-Yone’s 2010 novel The Road to Wanting offers a Southeast Asian lens through which one might examine China’s southwestern frontier and relationships forged within the Sino-Myanmar borderlands. The Road to Wanting maps an intersectional, interracial terrain where the past is selectively developed through transnational joint ventures and promises of an improved future with localized flair, a speculative modernity that is fabricated by bodi…
