Romancing Human Rights
When the world thinks of Burma, it is often in relation to Nobel laureate and icon Aung San Suu Kyi. But beyond her is another world, one that complicates the overdetermination of Burma as a pariah state and myths about the "high status" of Southeast Asian women. Highlighting and critiquing this fraught terrain, Tamara C. Ho's Romancing Human Rights maps "Burmese women" as real and imagined figures across the twentieth century and into the twenty…
Ancestry of Experience
As Hawaiians continue to recover their language and culture, the voices of kupuna (elders) are heard once again in urban and rural settings, both in Hawai'i and elsewhere. How do kupuna create knowledge and "tell" history? What do they tell us about being Hawaiian? Adopted by a Midwestern couple in the 1950s as an infant, Leilani Holmes spent much of her early life in settings that offered no clues about her Hawaiian past-images of which continue…

Transpacific Studies
Transpacific Studies
The Pacific has long been a space of conquest, exploration, fantasy, and resistance. Pacific Islanders had established civilizations and cultures of travel well before European explorers arrived, initiating centuries of upheaval and transformation. The twentieth century, with wars fought in and over the Pacific, is only the most recent era to witness military strife and economic competition. Recognizing the increasing importance of the transpacif…

Arjuna Walks a Way from Fast Food
In their introductory essays, Anita Mannur and Valerie Matsumoto speak to ideas, ideologies, and practices related to Asian American foodways. Mannur points out that food had been utilized historically as a culinary idiom in the early 20th century to distinguish-and discriminate-between “meat-eating” white laborers and “rice-eating” Asian immigrant labor. Food, in other words, was used as a metaphor to “imagine race” and its accompanying racial d…

Friendship Across the Sea
As I sit in my office at Hong Kong University, an ocean away from the city, Los Angeles, where I worked with Yuji for over twentyfive years, I recall the first time I met him, in the early 70s. It was at a poetry reading, The New Asian Nation, at UC Berkeley's Zellerbach Hall. Bill Wu, a Chinese art historian, introduced me to Emma and Yuji. Then, I was young and self-absorbed, and I did not actually come to know them both until two years later, …
