UC Davis

In this special issue introduction, co-editors Katherine Achacoso, Josephine Faith Ong, Beenash Jafri, and Candace Fujikane consider the multiple place-based genealogies of Asian settler colonial critique, amplifying its transnational, place-based dimensions while also identifying new directions for study. Rather than laying claim to Asian settler colonialism as a field ripe for institutional reproduction, they name Asian settler colonial analytics as an assemblage of multiple approaches, methods and points of departure, signaling their investments in forging ethical relationships and connections with Indigenous peoples, communities, and struggles inside and outside the university.
