Anti-Asian Violence in North America

Asian American and Asian Canadian Reflections on Hate, Healing and Resistance
Discusses the impacts of racial crime, exploring the relationship between the physical or verbal acts to issues of ethnic identity, civil rights of immigrants, Internet racism, sexual violence, language and violence, economic scapegoating, and police brutality. This work offers suggestions for combating hate crime.
Violent and sometimes fatal acts of racial hatred are drawing increasing attention around the nation. For the first time, voices of Asian Americans and Asian Canadians have been brought together to discuss the multidimensional impact of racial crime in their lives and through their work as attorneys, teachers, community activists, students, or business professionals. The authors explore the relationship between the physical or verbal acts and issues of ethnic identity, civil rights of immigrants, Internet racism, sexual violence, language and violence, institutionalized racism, economic scapegoating, and police brutality. Because hate crimes span legal, social, and emotional contexts, many of the contributors write in a narrative style that blends personal experience with social theory or political commentary. They offer valuable perspective on combating hate crime in coalition building and community resistance, legal prosecution, police training, victim services, and racial justice movements. The depth, emotion, and intelligence of these compelling chapters make the book important reading in courses in Asian American studies, race and ethnic studies, sociology, criminology, and human rights, and for anyone looking to understand the ongoing struggle of racial violence and human rights in North America.
