31 – Racism, Imperialism, Asian Pacific Representation, and Interethnic Solidarity w/ Nadia Y. Kim
from Southpaw · host Southpaw
We sit down with author and sociologist Nadia Y. Kim to discuss Asian Pacific American history, Asian Pacific representation in mainstream media (e.g., Crazy Rich Asians, Always Be My Maybe, Sorry to Bother You, Do the Right Thing), the 1992 Los Angeles unrest, racial triangulation, model minority divide & conquer, colorism amongst East Asians and South Asians, racism as a part of neoliberal capitalism, US imperialism, sexual politics and fetishization, the "white gaze" as a byproduct of white supremacy, religious politics and mental health stigma, hip hop and the history of beats, interethnic solidarity, and so much more. We're really proud of this episode and the information that's been presented, and we hope this can serve as an engaging and accessible resource for those of you who might have never taken courses on race & ethnicity but were interested in learning. Nadia is a professor of sociology at Loyola Marymount University and the 2018-19 Thomas Tam Visiting Professor at the City University of New York Graduate Center. (She also happens to be one of Paul's college professors.) She's the author of "Imperial Citizens: Koreans and Race from Seoul to LA" (https://amzn.to/2G4z8L9) and she's also in the midst of writing her second book "We the Polluted People: Immigrant Generations Remake Citizenship Via Race, Class, Gender & the Body." Also in the interview, we referenced her article for Racism Review: "Why Kim Jong Il Jokes Aren’t Funny" (http://www.racismreview.com/blog/2009/06/16/why-kim-jong-il-jokes-arent-funny/).
