{"product_id":"transpacific-antiracism","title":"Transpacific Antiracism","description":"\u003cp\u003eTranspacific Antiracism introduces the dynamic process out of which social movements in Black America, Japan, and Okinawa formed Afro-Asian solidarities against the practice of white supremacy in the twentieth century. Yuichiro Onishi argues that in the context of forging Afro-Asian solidarities, race emerged as a political category of struggle with a distinct moral quality and vitality.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis book explores the work of Black intellectual-activists of the first half of the twentieth century, including Hubert Harrison and W. E. B. Du Bois, that took a pro-Japan stance to articulate the connection between local and global dimensions of antiracism. Turning to two places rarely seen as a part of the Black experience, Japan and Okinawa, the book also presents the accounts of a group of Japanese scholars shaping the Black studies movement in post-surrender Japan and multiracial coalition-building in U.S.-occupied Okinawa during the height of the Vietnam War which brought together local activists, peace activists, and antiracist and antiwar GIs. Together these cases of Afro-Asian solidarity make known political discourses and projects that reworked the concept of race to become a wellspring of aspiration for a new society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54251968233816,"sku":"9780814762646","price":66.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780814762646__6773148fa0c7e.jpg?v=1741160456","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/transpacific-antiracism","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
