In \u003ci\u003eAsian American Political Coalitions\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLu 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. \u003ci\u003eAsian American Political Coalitions\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fan Lu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48613133910267,"sku":"9781479844487","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/unnamed_e2012264-30ac-4f9c-83bf-1371e386dbc5.jpg?v=1777385626","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/asian-american-political-coalitions-9781479844487","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
