  5. "The bill also drew criticism from the left. #Washington Ethnic Studies Now, a nonprofit advocacy group seeking to reform the state’s mandated #ethnicstudies classes around “anti-racist educators,” rejected both versions of the bill.

    On Instagram, the group said one proposed version of the bill “empowers one white-led organization responsible for writing our multi-ethnic genocide curriculum,” referring to the #Holocaust center. It also outlined its broader concerns with the bill, saying it “emphasizes a biased framing of #genocide, prioritizing one genocide over the others, and excludes communities who have experienced genocide that are not officially recognized due to the inconsistent and political nature of international courts.”

  10. I'm reading @intelwire's post about anti-Chinese American dystopian fiction:

    "Almond-Eyed* *came and went* *with little fanfare, but it was the vanguard of what would be a wildly popular genre…at least 23 works of fiction…between 1878 and 1918…The language and themes of these early works would reverberate through the genre for well over 100 years, haunting us today"

  12. 🧵 Happy #AAPIHeritageMonth!

    People usually trace Asian American movements to 1968.

    But I found an old newspaper article about an "Oriental Students Association" at the University of California in 1907, with members from India, China, Thailand, and Japan.

    Do you see what I see? Here's the story 👇🏽

  14. "This bookstore, for me, is a continuation of the movement, the activity, the interest, so that part will continue. It’s just that this space, and the lease, won’t be around."

    So sad to hear Eastwind Books in Berkeley is closing. I used to love going there when visiting fam in SF. Thanks to @iriskwok for this rich and lively account of its history and significance in relation to the Asian American organising, the International Hotel, Third World Liberation Front and more. May the spirit of Eastwind continue in other ways, beyond the space, beyond the lease...

  16. Happy #BlackHistoryMonth!

    I want to share something really cool that I discovered.

    I've been digging into intersections between Black and #SouthAsianAmerican history, and found something new.

    We know about Punjabi Mexicans and Black Bengalis.

    But I just found 3 examples of Black women in New York and Chicago married to Punjabi/Sikh men back in 1940.

  18. Exactly 100 years ago, the US Supreme Court's ruling in "U.S. v. Thind" led to every single Indian American having their citizenship forcibly removed.

    But how did the mass denaturalization *actually* happen?

    @prof_erikalee found the receipts and shared them here:

  20. I should say that we define "linguistics" (and, for that matter, "literature") extremely broadly. It is true that "language geek" appears nowhere in our charter, but that's really what unites us. There are lots of adjacencies, I think, in #DigitalHumanities, #CompRhet, #EthnicStudies, and other fields. Our recent panels (smash hits, I'll have you know) were on the subject of linguistic justice and language inclusivity, for example -- a matter of broad interest, I think, to humanists in general. So if these terms tug at your heartstrings in some way, you're probably a perfect fit!

  22. Hi folks, here goes an #introduction: I’m Umayyah Cable (they/them) and I’m an assistant professor in the departments of American Culture and Film, Television, & Media at the University of Michigan, and a core faculty member in the Arab and Muslim American Studies program. My research and teaching focus on: Palestinian cinema, media activism, Arab American cultural productions, and film festivals. I enjoy showering my #rescuedog Jasper with TLC, #gardening, and experiments in #sourdough baking.
