Liu, Wen, 'Feeling Asian American', Feeling Asian American: Racial Flexibility Between Assimilation and Oppression (Champaign, IL , 2024; online edn, Illinois Scholarship Online, 23 Jan. 2025), https://doi.org/10.5622/illinois/9780252045790.003.0001, accessed 26 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
This introduction illustrates the shifting paradigms of Asian American subjectivity in the rise of US-China geopolitical conflict and anti-Asian violence since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. It argues that to feel Asian American is to sense a collectivized history of racial injury despite its categorical, intrademographic, and ideological heterogeneities. By integrating psychology, history, and affect theory, this introduction articulates how the very foundation of Asian American identity formation is driven by a state of noncathartic emotion, which has been mobilized toward both the left and the right in US and diasporic racial politics.
Keywords:
Asian American, affect, anti-Asian violence, COVID-19, new Cold War, China, Chineseness, minor feelings, racial injury, Sinophone studies
