Colonial Racial Capitalism
Social Death
Winner of the 2013 John Hope Franklin Book Prize presented by the American Studies Association Social Death tackles one of the core paradoxes of social justice struggles and scholarship—that the battle to end oppression shares the moral grammar that structures exploitation and sanctions state violence.

One. Racialized Hauntings of the Devalued Dead
Civil Rights, Commerce, and US Colonialism
This essay examines how the courts intensified Indigenous dispossession and legally disempowered African Americans through misinterpretations of the Commerce Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the US Constitution. These misinterpretations support corporate interests, US sovereignty, and white supremacy while linking Congress’s plenary power over Indigenous nations to people of color’s civil rights. Hence, the civil rights of African Americ…

Considering how this critique of male violence can also be appropriated by the state, I contemplate how we might read differently to find alternative ways to analyze family-centered politics that enable us to "disidentify" with the st…
Racialized Hauntings of the Devalued Dead
Strange Affinities
T his book emerged from a desire to identify and invent analytics through which to compare racial formations, in distinction to comparative race scholarship that simply parallels instances of historical similarity across racial groups in the United States.Such a project entails not only articulating commonalities between communities of color but imagining alternative modes of coalition beyond prior models of racial or ethnic solidarity based on a…
But Some of Us Are Wise
for Forbes.com, journalist Melik Kaylan defends Arizona's anti-Ethnic Studies act (introduced as House Bill 2281) by asserting that Ethnic Studies underestimates students of color. He writes, It is insulting to assume that minorities must be coddled with ethnic cheerleading as a substitute for knowledge.1 Contrasting the supposedly separatist agenda of Ethnic Studies with a more acceptable non-partisan multiculturalism, he characterizes the bill'…

Hunger and The Barbarians Are Coming are texts, which critically engage with what has come to be a common trope in Asian American literature( the disruption of Asian American families. Like many Asian American authors, such as Maxine Hong Kingston, Amy Tan, Hisaye Yamamoto, Fae Myenne Ng, and Joy Kogawa, generational and gendered conflicts within the family embody the tensions between inclusion and exclusion, between success and failure, and betw…
