Overview

This book offers interdisciplinary approaches within and outside the institution and hopes to support the creation and establishment of Asian Canadian Studies as a discipline and as a community-based research creation. But ultimately, Asian Canada is Burning brings forth potentials to address the crucial need to be transdisciplinary, moving beyond disciplines, as both pedagogies and praxes. As pedagogies, this book shows how to learn and study Asian Canadian experiences as process in relation to other racialized groups, together structured by settler colonialism. As praxes, this book demonstrates how to build community, practice solidarity and honor different forms of knowledge production. We explicitly present Asian Canadian studies that channels the possibility of doing something else other than assimilating into the Canadian nation state.
