"Wayne Au looks beyond the boundaries of the US to offer a critical and expansive account of the 'complex and contradictory' racialization of Asian Americans and the role of education in this. The book is also a crucial call for greater understanding of ourselves and each other in the name of racial justice. This is an important and beautiful book." Stacey J. Lee , Vilas Research Professor & Frederick Erickson WARF Professor of Educational Policy Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison. "To narrate the story of race, racism, and anti-racism in the United States without meaningfully integrating the experiences and advocacies of Asian Americans is to tell an incomplete and inaccurate story. Wayne Au offers a necessary corrective and intervention that marshals subjugated knowledges in pursuit of community, solidarity, and ultimately freedom. His book is a must-read to understand not only the complex histories and legacies of oppression and dehumanization, but also the strategic possibilities to wield education for justice and liberation.
