How Asian, Black, and Latino Americans form and resist political coalitions Despite sharing similar experiences with racial discrimination and underrepresentation, Asian, Black, and Latino Americans have distinct and nuanced political identities, interests, and goals. In Asian American Political Coalitions , Fan Lu closely explores these communities of color, providing insight into their complex - and promising - political relationships, at a time when common ground is needed more than ever before. Drawing on post-election and racial identity surveys, as well as case and character studies of activists like Grace Lee Boggs, Yuri Kochiyama, Richard Aoki, and Saket Soni, Lu highlights conflict and coalition-building among Asian American, Black, and Latino communities. She provides a framework for thinking through how these groups can mobilize together, instead of separately, to challenge our country's racial hierarchy. Lu also provides a fresh lens on key historical and contemporary political events, including Black American responses to Japanese internment, and Asian American perceptions of the Black Lives Matter movement. Asian American Political Coalitions captures both the conflict and common ground among Asian, Black, and Latino Americans, and how these communities must build strong political coalitions for a better future.
