SUMMARY:British Bangladeshi Muslims in the East End
DESCRIPTION:Fatima Rajina discusses British Bangladeshi Muslim men and the changing landscape of their dress and language.\n\n\nPopular discourse around British Muslims has often been dominated by a focus on Muslim women and their sartorial choices\, particularly the hijab and niqab. Dr. Fatima Rajina takes a different angle and focuses on Muslim men\, examining how factors like the global war on terror influenced and changed their sartorial choices and use of language. Rajina’s new book denaturalises the ubiquitous and deeply problematic security lens through which knowledge of Muslims has been produced in the past two decades. \nBritish Bangladeshi Muslims in the East End offers an alternative reading of these communities and how their political subjectivities emerge. Drawing on historical events\, field research and existing academic work\, the book aims to address the multiple ways British Bangladeshi Muslim men and women create their relationship with dress and language. This book is the first to empirically examine how dress and language shape the identities of British Bangladeshi Muslims in the East End\, using in-depth analysis useful for anyone interested in the study of British Muslims broadly. While the book focuses on a specific Muslim community\, the emerging themes demonstrate the interconnectedness of Muslims locally and globally and how they manifest their identities through dress and language.

SUMMARY:Asian Americans in an Anti-Black World: A Conversation with Claire Jean Kim
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU. \nREGISTER \nAs the 2024 presidential election approaches and in the shadows of the COVID-19 pandemic\, 2020 uprisings for Black Lives\, and 2023 Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action\, Claire Jean Kim‘s Asian Americans in an Anti-Black World (Cambridge University Press\, 2023) offers us a historically-grounded and theoretically astute framework for analyzing and making sense of current US politics and racial formations. \nMichael Dawson praises\, “[a]n acute observer of the complicated racial dynamics of the twenty-first century U.S.\, Kim centers anti-blackness as critical for understanding the complex racial dynamics that continue to be central to shaping U.S. society and politics.”  \nJoin us for a virtual conversation on Kim’s groundbreaking book\, the upcoming election\, and Asian American racial positioning. Kim will be joined by Professor Mike Hoa Nguyen (NYU Steinhardt). \nThis discussion is one of our marquee events on “Asian/Pacific/American Prospects\,” with which we ask how A/P/A perspectives might provide compelling modes for confronting the many\, proliferating crises of concern to our communities\, and imagining futures beyond them. \nAccessibility note: This event will be hosted virtually on Zoom. A Zoom account\, internet access\, and a smartphone or computer is required. Closed captioning will be provided for all audio. If you have any access needs\, please email apa.rsvp@nyu.edu. \n  \nClaire Jean Kim is professor of Political Science and Asian American Studies. Her first book\, Bitter Fruit: The Politics of Black-Korean Conflict in New York City (Yale University Press\, 2000) is the recipient of the American Political Science Association’s Ralph Bunche Award for the Best Book on Ethnic and Cultural Pluralism and a Best Book Award from the American Political Science Association Organized Section on Race\, Ethnicity\, and Politics. Her second book\, Dangerous Crossings: Race\, Species\, and Nature in a Multicultural Age (Cambridge University Press\, 2015)\, is also the recipient of a Best Book Award from the American Political Science Association Organized Section on Race\, Ethnicity\, and Politics. Her third book\, Asian Americans in an Anti-Black World (Cambridge University Press\, 2023)\, was selected for NPR’s Books We Love list for 2023.  \nMike Hoa Nguyen is assistant professor of Education at NYU’s Steinhardt School of Culture\, Education\, and Human Development and a faculty affiliate at the Asian/Pacific/American Institute and the Steinhardt Institute for Higher Education Policy. His research and teaching critically examine the benefits and consequences of racialized public policy instruments in expanding and/or constraining educational systems\, with a specific focus on how these dynamics shape access\, learning\, opportunity\, and success within and beyond schools for students of color.

SUMMARY:MOCA TALKS with Thomas S. Mullaney – The Chinese Computer: A Global History
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this captivating discussion that explores the dynamic interplay between culture and technology!\n\n\nRegister via Zoom \nPurchase The Chinese Computer \nThe Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) cordially invites you to join an insightful discussion with Thomas S. Mullaney\, Professor of Chinese History at Stanford University and author of The Chinese Computer: A Global History of the Information Age. This event will uncover the fascinating\, untold story of how the Chinese language overcame unparalleled challenges and revolutionized the world of computing. \nA standard QWERTY keyboard has a few dozen keys. How can Chinese—a language with tens of thousands of characters and no alphabet—be input on such a device? In The Chinese Computer\, Mullaney sets out to resolve this paradox\, discovering that the key to this seemingly impossible riddle has given rise to a new epoch in the history of writing—a form of writing he calls “hypography.” Based on fifteen years of research\, this pathbreaking history charts the beginnings of electronic Chinese technology in the wake of World War II and traces its many iterations to the present day. \nMullaney takes readers through the evolution of Chinese language computing technology\, highlighting the development of electronic Chinese input methods—software programs that enable Chinese characters to be produced using alphanumeric symbols—and their profound impact on the way Chinese is written. Along the way\, Mullaney introduces a cast of brilliant and eccentric personalities from IBM\, MIT\, the CIA\, the Pentagon\, the Taiwanese military\, and the highest ranks of the mainland Chinese establishment\, exploring the unexpected roles they played in developing Chinese language computing. He also illustrates how China and the non-Western world\, through the hypographic technologies they invented\, helped the Western computer overcome its inherent biases and achieve a meaningful presence in markets outside the Americas and Europe. \nThe conversation will be moderated by Herb Tam\, MOCA’s Curator and Director of Exhibitions. Join us for this captivating discussion that explores the dynamic interplay between culture and technology. \nAbout Thomas S. Mullaney \nThomas S. Mullaney is Professor of Chinese History at Stanford University and a Guggenheim Fellow. He is the author of The Chinese Typewriter: A History\, Where Research Begins\, and Coming to Terms with the Nation: Ethnic Classification in Modern China.

SUMMARY:Stephanie Chou: Chinatown Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Following April’s successful performance of Comfort Girl\, Stephanie brings her band back to Joe’s Pub for a performance of entirely different material! Stephanie Chou is a composer/saxophonist/singer who blends influences from her Chinese heritage with Western jazz and pop to create a bracingly original sound. Tonight’s show will feature live premieres of newly-written material and fan favorites from her eclectic and wide-ranging body of work. \nChinatown Dreams is a songwriting album following the journey of a young\, second-generation Chinese-American woman\, as she and her Chinatown community go through a year of tremendous challenges. This semi-autobiographical story examines the conflict between choosing the safe\, expected path vs. following one’s heart\, a conflict so many second-generation Americans of all sorts face. Chinatown Dreams will be a concept album written for her band\, with lyrics in English and Mandarin. The music combines the energy of improvised jazz with the precision of progressive rock\, in an homage to Manhattan’s Chinatown.

SUMMARY:The 2024 Election and the AANHPI Vote
DESCRIPTION:According to APIA Vote and TargetSmart\, Asian American\, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders have had the largest increase in voter registration of any racial group in the country from January to June\, compared to the same time back in 2020.

SUMMARY:The Way You Want to Be Loved (Book Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Author/professor Aruni Kashyap will read from his new novel\, The Way You Want to Be Loved (Gaudy Boy\, 2024).\n\n\nAuthor/professor Aruni Kashyap will read from his new novel\, The Way You Want to Be Loved (Gaudy Boy\, 2024). \nAt a New Delhi conference\, an Assamese writer is interrogated on why he writes about magical folktales instead of the insurgencies. A mother splashes around in the village lake to mask the lovemaking sounds of her son with another man. A newly-arrived graduate student in Minnesota navigates living arrangements with his white roommate\, Mike\, and Mike’s Indian girlfriend. \nIn agile and frank prose\, The Way You Want to Be Loved tells the stories of queer\, displaced lives from India’s Northeast\, an underrepresented region in English fiction. A hybrid cast of characters represents the common people in these thirteen stories\, whether western-trained academic or village sorcerer\, army soldier or local politician\, homeward-bound son or dutiful daughter-in-law. They wrestle with diasporic melancholia\, the social pressures of familial duty\, and the search for their own personhood\, even as they live in a world where personhood is continually compromised and reshaped under oppressive forces larger than themselves. Aruni Kashyap offers up a powerful critique of the malfunctioning democracies of India and the U.S.\, deftly balancing devastation and tragedy with a darkly humorous tone that has readers questioning their laughter.

SUMMARY:A/P/A Graduate Student Working Group Workshop: Mich Ling
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the A/P/A Graduate Student Working Group. Hosted by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU. \nREGISTER \nNYU graduate students are invited to join the next workshop hosted by the A/P/A Graduate Student Working Group featuring Mich Ling (Rutgers University\, Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies). Ling will present a chapter from their dissertation\, “Towards a Global Idea of Asian Women: Selective Incorporation and Settler Knowledge Production in the Transpacific Nineteenth Century.” \nThe A/P/A Graduate Student Working Group hosts monthly workshops for graduate students to foster interdisciplinary discussion and interdepartmental collaboration on each other’s research and interests in Asian/Pacific/American Studies. \nNYU campus access guidelines: This is an in-person event\, open to graduate students from NYU and nearby universities. Registration is required. Non-NYU guests may be asked to present a government-issued photo ID. NYU guests must present their NYU ID. \nAccessibility note: This venue has an elevator and is accessible for wheelchair users. There are single-stall\, all gender restrooms available. If you have any access needs\, please email apa.rsvp@nyu.edu. \n\nAbstract \nTowards a Global Idea of Asian Women: Selective Incorporation and Settler Knowledge Production in the Transpacific Nineteenth Century \nIn the second chapter of their dissertation\, Mich Ling critiques Japanese women’s roles in the (re)production of the settler nation and global capitalism by tracing the transpacific networks of capitalist and settler colonial exchange they animate “in and around the Pacific.” Ling does so by following the trajectories of the five girls sent along with the Iwakura Mission to the United States in 1871—specifically\, Tsuda Umeko and the Yoshimasu Ryōko. Through an analysis of the newly released Tsuda Umeko 5000-yen banknote\, Iwakura Mission members diaries\, letters\, and publications\, and the forgotten mock trial involving Yoshimasu’s assault aboard the SS America\, Ling frames modern Japan’s selective incorporation of Japanese women through the logic of possession. By understanding the nineteenth century as a period of selective incorporation instead of exclusion\, Ling queries the “periodizations and paradigms” of disciplinary knowledge of North America\, Asia and the Pacific. The trajectories of the Iwakura Mission girls are entangled with the history of how Ainu Mosir became Hokkaido\, and how some Asian women became “lewd” and “immoral” across US and Japanese legal systems while others became exchange students and mothers of the nation. Their stories reveal how a network of Japanese settlers and capitalists in the nineteenth century utilized knowledge production of gender and sexuality as technologies of possession\, producing the woman’s sphere as a crucial financial and political nexus of settler colonialism. In narrating this history\, Ling argues that the value of Asian women was a problem of global capitalism that US and Japanese agents of empire worked to settle\, standardize\, and possess. \n  \nImage: 5000-yen banknote featuring Tsuda Umeko. 2024.
