Gary Y. Okihiro and Asian American Studies
figure in the field of Asian American studies, passed away on May 20, 2024.It would not be hyperbolic to say that every one of us in the field knew Gary in some capacity-as an author, teacher, mentor, colleague, and friend.He was a senior colleague who seemed to be everywhere.It was hard to keep up with his prodigious list of publications.How in the world did he manage to publish so many books, well into his seventies?His wide smile, distinctive …
Loyalty to Empire
Loyalty to Empire Moon-Ho Jung (bio) In May 2003, shortly after George W. Bush launched the US invasion of Iraq, Arundhati Roy and Howard Zinn held a public conversation at the Riverside Church in Harlem, the site of Martin Luther King Jr.'s remarkable speech against the Vietnam War back in April 1967. Zinn seemed to assume that he and Roy shared similar worldviews, on the left and critical of America's latest war. At one point, Zinn attempted to…

Confronting the Racial State of Violence
Solidarity, Liberalism, History
Solidarity, Liberalism, History Moon-Ho Jung (bio) David Roediger’s ASA presidential address challenges us to see through seemingly simple and easy solidarities, to dig deep into our histories and politics, to appreciate that “solidarity proceeds excruciatingly slowly and not always forward.” The word solidarity, he reminds us, has complicated and contradictory origins, and wasn’t associated with the labor movement and Marxist discourse and pract…
Making the Empire Work: Labor and United States Imperialism
Millions of laborers, from the Philippines to the Caribbean, performed the work of the United States empire. Forging a global economy connecting the tropics to the industrial center, workers harvested sugar, cleaned hotel rooms, provided sexual favors, and filled military ranks. Placing working men and women at the center of the long history of the U.S. empire, these essays offer new stories of empire that intersect with the “grand narratives” of…
Margins and Mainstreams: Asians in American History and Culture
In this classic book on the meaning of multiculturalism in larger American society, Gary Okihiro explores the significance of Asian American experiences from the perspectives of historical consciousness, race, gender, class, and culture. While exploring anew the meanings of Asian American social history, Okihiro argues that the core values and ideals of the nation emanate today not from the so-called mainstream but from the margins, from among As…
Black Reconstruction and Empire
Although W. E. B. Du Bois's Black Reconstruction has been recognized widely in recent decades as a seminal work in African American and US history, its radical critique of the US empire is rarely acknowledged. This essay explores the ways Du Bois carried out that wider critique
Seditious Subjects: Race, State Violence, and the U.S. Empire
Jung excavates a rich history of radicalism, empire, and state violence across the Pacific showing the history of European radicalism to be deeply imbricated in racial formation. Asserting that the tension between free trade and free labor and the discourses of anarchy and modernity overlapped into questions of national security to consolidate state power, Jung argues that these developments call into question the ways in which Asian American stu…

"Outlawing "Coolies: Race, Nation, and Empire in the Age of Emancipation
Exploring the ambiguous status of "coolies" in nineteenth-century American culture and law, "Outlawing ÔCooliesÕ" proposes an alternative interpretation of the first federal laws restricting immigration into the United States. Rather than focusing on the modern immigration system that the Page Law (1875) and the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882) inaugurated, Jung examines their legal and political precedents: slave trade prohibitions. Through diplomat…
