Overview
I'm an historian of race who works at the intersection of intellectual history and social movement history. My current book project, Asian Americans and the Color-Line, uses the history of Asian American Studies to explore the rise and fall of Third Worldism within the United States. I'm also at work on a project on radical Asian American activism. A piece of this project, on transnational political murders, has been published as an article in Pacific Historical Review.
