With a couple of decades of teaching experience between us collectively, time and again we have heard South Asian students in our classrooms feel unsure of their place within the broader paradigms of Asian American studies. While the two of us have taught at different institutions, we have encountered South Asian American students of various class backgrounds. A critical mass of those students come from working class or poor backgrounds, but the majority come from middle class or affluent families. This is not surprising. It is no secret that Indian Americans in particular have some of the highest levels of educational attainment and incomes in the country, and over half of Pakistani American adults have a bachelor’s degree, as of 2015. 1 We have observed that most South Asian American students, regardless of class background, believe that their educational achievements within the space of the university will transform into enough economic and cultural capital to stave off the stigma of race. Often when South Asian American students encounter our introductory Asian American studies courses, they wonder if they can even lay claim to the racial category of Asian American—a question often compounded for them as they learn about the activist origins of the field. We begin our essay purposefully within a site of class privilege: the university classroom. We expand upon our students’ honest reckoning with privilege and ask how South Asian American studies and Asian American studies more generally might develop if we were to openly confront and centralize how is-308","PeriodicalId":125906,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian American Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131487751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It examines activism, organizing, and social movement work practiced by queer diasporic South Asians in the UK and the United States. By analyzing the South Asian activist relationship to, and solidarity and partnership with, Black liberation activism, this article conceptualizes a framing of queer South Asian diasporic solidarity. This solidarity is framed through contrasting articulations of joint struggle, allyship, and kinship in queer communities. To articulate this struggle, the article contrasts histories of South Asian racialization, politicization, and queerness in the UK and the United States, and synthesizes first-person activist accounts of modern-day queer South Asian activists in the diaspora. Finally, it argues that queer feminist South Asian activists in both countries are employing a model of queered solidarity with Black activists and Black liberation, though in differing forms in each country, that centers queer intimacies and anti-patriarchal modes of organizing for liberation across queer communities of color.","PeriodicalId":125906,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian American Studies","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127006763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
