Historical Readings on #BlackAsianSolidarity

51ZP54wwXmL._SX329_BO1,204,203,200_Recently, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture hosted a fascinating panel discussion entitled, “From Binaries to Bridges: Black Liberation and Model Minority Mutiny.” The panel explored Black and Asian American racial formation and the history of Afro-Asian solidarity. The featured panelists were William Jelani Cobb; Ellen D. Wu; Deepa Iyer; and Soya Jung. Check out the hashtag #BlackAsianSolidarity on Twitter for insights and photos from the event. In this post, I offer a few seminal historical readings on Afro-Asian solidarity for those who are interested in further exploring this topic. Readings are arranged by date of publication.
