Asian Americans in an Anti-Black World

"The latest book from political scholar Claire Jean Kim is a razor-sharp retelling of Asian American history, one in which Asian Americans have not merely struggled against white supremacy but have often perpetrated – and benefited from – anti-Blackness. Kim traces these reciprocal strains of racism across 200 years of Asians in America, from Chinese exclusion to Japanese American incarceration during World War II to our present-day clashes over affirmative action. The story of race and rights in the United States cannot be told without Asian Americans. This book will show you why."
