Voices Rising

Asian Canadian Cultural Activism

by Xiaoping Li

tagged: asian american studies, asian american, popular culture
Description

This interdisciplinary inquiry examines Asian Canadian political and cultural activism around community building, identity making, racial equity, and social justice. Informed by a postcolonial and postmodern cultural critique, it traces the trajectory of progressive cultural discourse generated by Asian Canadian cultural activists over the course of several generations. Xiaoping Li draws on historical sources and personal testimonies to convincingly demonstrate how culture acts as a means of engagement with the political and social world. He addresses topical issues of “race,” ethnicity, identity, and transculturalism.
