Asian Americans in an Anti-Black World
Where do Asian Americans fit into the U.S. racial order? Are they subordinated comparably to Black people or permitted adjacency to whiteness? The racial reckoning prompted by the police murder of George Floyd and the surge in anti-Asian hate during the COVID-19 pandemic raise these questions with new urgency. Asian Americans in an Anti-Black World is a groundbreaking study that will shake up scholarly and popular thinking on these matters. Theor…
Asian Americans in an Anti-Black World
Asian Americans and Anti-Blackness
Are Asians the New Blacks
This article sheds light on the pending affirmative action lawsuit filed by Asian American plaintiffs against Harvard University by providing a brief history of how Asian Americans have been figured (and have figured themselves) in U.S. Supreme Court jurisprudence on race-conscious admissions in higher education. It shows that the figuration of Asian Americans has played a critical role in the legal-ideological project of despecifying Black subje…
Dangerous Crossings
Dangerous Crossings offers an interpretation of the impassioned disputes that have arisen in the contemporary United States over the use of animals in the cultural practices of nonwhite peoples. It examines three controversies: the battle over the 'cruelty' of the live animal markets in San Francisco's Chinatown, the uproar over the conviction of NFL superstar Michael Vick on dogfighting charges, and the firestorm over the Makah tribe's decision …
Michael Vick, Race, and Animality
Introduction
In this introduction to the special issue of American Quarterly , "Species/Race/Sex," Claire Jean Kim and Carla Freccero hold a conversation based on a set of questions about the fields they work in and the interdisciplinary and political challenges to thinking intersectionally about species, race, and sex. They discuss their field formations; the need for interdisciplinary approaches to address the full complexity of categories of identity, bein…
Moral Extensionism or Racist Exploitation? The Use of Holocaust and Slavery Analogies in the Animal Liberation Movement
This article explores the controversies provoked by two recent exhibits in which People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) draws analogies between animal exploitation and the Holocaust and slavery. PETA’s comparisons between the plight of animals and that of Jews and blacks are transgressive insofar as they disrupt settled notions of species difference by challenging the sacrosanct moral divide between humans and animals, and insofar as …

The Racial Logic of Politics
Multiculturalism Goes Imperial
As Latino and Asian immigrant populations in the United States continue to grow, controversies are cropping up over immigrant animal practices such as horse tripping in Mexicancharreadas(rodeos) and the slaughter of animals in the live-animal markets of San Francisco's Chinatown. Immigrant advocates read these controversies through a multiculturalist interpretive framework that constructs animal advocates as agents of an ethnocentric and racist m…
Unyielding Positions
What are the implications of the social constructionist insight about race for the political struggle against racism? This question has sparked a vigorous cross-disciplinary debate. At issue is whether the struggle to contain the damage done by racism is best served by rejecting the concept of race altogether, rehabilitating it, or partially dismantling it. I aim to accomplish three tasks here. The first is to provide a much-needed overview of th…
Imagining race and nation in multiculturalist America
Post-1965 demographic changes in the United States [US] have brought blacks, Latinos, and Asian Americans into direct conflict, raising the question of how and whether law and public policy should attempt to adjudicate conflicts among racialized minority groups. I argue in this article that for the past few decades, national political leaders in the US have promoted an official multiculturalist discourse that actually discourages Americans from n…
Bitter Fruit
Claire Jean Kim's account of African American boycotts of Korean-owned stores in Brooklyn in 1990 upends the conventional story of black-Korean conflict in American cities, in which African Americans lash out irrationally at conveniently available “scapegoats,” Korean American merchants who have the misfortune to be caught in a conflict not of their own making. Meticulously and doggedly reconstructing the origins and development of the so-called …
Managing the Racial Breach
Interracial Politics
The Los Angeles rebellion of 1992 was a flashpoint in which the struggles of blacks, Latinos, and Asian Americans converged with explosive consequences. Dubbed the nation's first “multiracial” riot, it drove home the point that racial dynamics in the United States cannot be understood through a simple black–white framework. The events in L.A. were only the most dramatic example of interminority conflicts that have emerged in many American cities …

Clinton's Race Initiative
President Clinton's Initiative on Race (1997-1998) was widely dismissed as empty political grandstanding. This article argues that the initiative actually bore an historical significance which observers have overlooked: it dramatically reformulated the American race problem at the dawn of the new century. We can see this clearly if we compare the race initiative to the two most important "moments" in official race discourse earlier in the twentie…
