SUMMARY:Book talk with author Scott Kurashige\, with Bao Phi and Bo Thao-Urabe - AMERICAN PERIL: THE VIOLENT HISTORY OF ANTI-ASIAN RACISM
DESCRIPTION:SUNDAY\, MAY 17th from 1PM to 3PM\nat the East Side Freedom Library \nJoin East Side Freedom Library\, the Minnesota Historical Society and the Japanese American Citizens League for a powerful conversation between American Peril author Scott Kurashige and local luminaries Bao Phi and Bo Thao-Urabe. \nCopies of the book will be available for sale via the XIA Books mobile bookstore! \nAmerican Peril is a probing account that shines a new light on the problem of anti-Asian violence and inspires us to build lasting solidarity. \nAward-winning scholar Scott Kurashige presents an expansive dive into anti-Asian violence and connects domestic and global events that have been erased from the official record. Going beyond victimhood\, the book also traces the rise of Asian American community protest and activism and argues that hope lies in grassroots activism for multiracial solidarity.⁠ \nScott Kurashige is author of The Shifting Grounds of Race: Black and Japanese Americans in the Making of Multiethnic Los Angeles and coauthor\, with Grace Lee Boggs\, of The Next American Revolution: Sustainable Activism for the Twenty-First Century. \n“American Peril will become a mainstay in classrooms and libraries\, and on the shelves and nightstands of any who want to understand the pernicious role that white supremacy has played in shaping what it means to be American: carving off\, cutting out\, excluding and sometimes executing those who it judges do not belong in this nation.”—Jeff Yang\, author of The Golden Screen and coauthor of New York Times bestseller Rise: A Pop History of Asian America from the Nineties to Now
