In particular, it focuses on the ways in which the process came to resonate with global human rights regimes. Combining oral history interviews with archival research and participant observation, I locate the ways in which the human rights framework of the international community, including the UN, has been changing through the varied forms of women's solidarity. I argue that, for around 30 years, the interplay between activists and victim-survivors played a pivotal role in constituting the global norms of women's rights through various international solidarity activities starting in the early 1990s. Due to this non-Western women's movement to debunk the local/global framework, the UN bodies relating to women's issues could address the \"comfort women\" issue as a global issue.","PeriodicalId":125906,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian American Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128432335","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}

This US immigration law granted over 54,000 Chinese nationals permanent residence after the 1989 Political Turmoil in China. Although the CSPA was promoted as a form of humanitarian relief legislation, my research shows instead that the CSPA embodied a neoliberal rationale that reinforced the racialized selectivity in the US immigration regime. Marking a transition from Cold War politics to neoliberal globalization, Chinese student immigration exemplified the neoliberal and transnational features of the model minority racialization, transforming Chinese America into a space of transnational capitalism and a bridge between American whiteness and Chinese elitism.","PeriodicalId":125906,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian American Studies","volume":"253 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127542774","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}

Rodrigues and ramolete advance a politics rooted in the refusal to play by empire’s rules, namely, the militarization of land, the militarization of bodies, and the insatiable appetite for war.","PeriodicalId":125906,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian American Studies","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128960077","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}

However, those dimensions of wartime logistics work that were undertaken primarily by Southeast Asian women, including cooking, cleaning, and entertaining, remain understudied. In this essay, we reflect on the gendered forms of reproductive labor that sustained and also unsettled US imperial life overseas, which we suggest can be glimpsed in the personal photographic archives of American military personnel stationed in Southeast Asia during the second Vietnam War. Focusing on the photographs of Benedicto Kayampat Villaverde, a second-generation Pinoy medic from Hawai‘i, we foreground the centrality of intimacy and care work to imperial projects of war-making, as well as to the projects of survival, solidarity, and resistance that sprung up in their wake.","PeriodicalId":125906,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian American Studies","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124432770","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}
