Bonus ep: representation politics, at Philly's Asian Arts Initiative with Bakirathi Mani and Anne Ishii

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!)
