Bonus ep!
This past week, the Asian Arts Initiative in Philly (AAI) hosted a short conversation about the question of representation in media and politics.
AAI’s exec. director Anne Ishii (@ill_iterate) MCed the event, which featured myself (Andy) and Bakirathi Mani, a fellow academic in the region (Swarthmore college, check out her new book Unseeing Empire, with the discount code E20EMPR).
We talk:
Kamala and Andrew
south and east Asian comparative diasporas
Asian versus Asian American studies
why the search for representation is always just a little bit “off”?
(there’s also a Youtube version of the in-person conversation here!)
