The Only Way to Survive is by Taking Care of One Another”
The revolutionary philosophy and activism of Grace Lee Boggs provide a model for social relations centered on an ethic of care. After witnessing the collapse of the industrial order in Detroit, which was a sign of a broader structural crisis that would reshape U.S. politics and economics, Boggs foresaw how the decline of the American middle class created openings for the far right to assert a white nationalist form of identity and collectivity in…

Unruly Subjects”
“Unruly Subjects”: American Studies from Antidiscipline to Revolutionary Praxis Scott Kurashige (bio) What time is it on the clock of the world? If Grace Lee Boggs were here today, she would say that we live in a time of great danger but also great hope. We are simultaneously moved on local, national, and global scales to confront white supremacist, neoliberal dispossession; the commodification of every aspect of life, thought, and feeling; ecolo…
The Fifty-Year Rebellion
On July 23, 1967, the eyes of the world fixed on Detroit, as thousands took to the streets to vent their frustrations with white racism, police brutality, and vanishing job prospects in the place that gave rise to the American Dream. Mainstream observers contended that the “riot” brought about the ruin of a once-great city; for them, the municipal bankruptcy of 2013 served as a bailout paving the way for the rebuilding of Detroit. Challenging thi…
From Rebellion to Revolution
The Next American Revolution
A world dominated by America and driven by cheap oil, easy credit, and conspicuous consumption is unraveling before our eyes. In this powerful, deeply humanistic book, Grace Lee Boggs, a legendary figure in the struggle for justice in America, shrewdly assesses the current crisis—political, economical, and environmental—and shows how to create the radical social change we need to confront new realities. A vibrant, inspirational force, Boggs has p…

Kathryn E. Wilson. Ethnic Renewal in Philadelphia’s Chinatown
Philadelphia has been characterized by both residents and scholars as a city of neighborhoods. Kathryn E. Wilson has made a valuable contribution by providing the first (and long overdue) book-length account of the history and ongoing struggles of Philadelphia’s Chinatown, a neighborhood whose significance to historical debates and developments far outweighs its physical size and population. While not claiming to have written an insider’s account…

The Shifting Grounds of Race
Los Angeles has attracted intense attention as a "world city" characterized by multiculturalism and globalization. Yet, little is known about the historical transformation of a place whose leaders proudly proclaimed themselves white supremacists less than a century ago. In The Shifting Grounds of Race , Scott Kurashige highlights the role African Americans and Japanese Americans played in the social and political struggles that remade twentieth-c…
Exposing the Price of Ignorance
For the final meeting of my Asian American history survey during the winter 2006 semester at the University of Michigan, we studied the narratives of three immigrants whose journeys to the United States followed harrowing experiences that had shaped the course of world history. The first saw his Philippine childhood shattered by the Japanese occupation during World War II. While aiding the guerrilla resistance, his eldest brother was imprisoned a…

Detroit and the Legacy of Vincent Chin
While the narrative of Chin's murder and the subsequent miscarriage of justice which followed are well-known within American Studies circles, working on the Detroit remembrance challenged me to explore the intersection of this narrative with local urban history. For instance, study of the Chin case was central to the curriculum of a first-year seminar entitled Asian Americans and the Civil Rights Movement, which I taught at the University of Mich…
