Description:

CES 6.1 Now Live!The inaugural open-access issue of Critical Ethnic Studies journal (6.1) is now live! Read here: https://manifold.umn.edu/projects/ces-0601"No Liberation in Isolation" calls renewed attention to the centrality of the U.S. university and knowledge formations around difference to the military/security-industrial complex and to the war and police power exercised, in both spectacular and routinized ways, against migrant justice, decolonization, Indigenous sovereignty, abolition, and demilitarization movements—struggles that confront interlinked modes of imperial violence. In the space of this journal, we hold open critical ethnic studies as a vital site of political education and organizational praxis. By recalling the radical vision that animated the TWLF struggle—not one and the same as the institutionalized trajectory of ethnic studies—we inquire into the prospects, in our current moment, of teaching and realizing ethnic studies along ever-relevant anti-imperialist lines.This issue features an introduction by co-editors Neda Atanasoski and Christine Hong, and contributions from Harsha Walia, Hope-Siihasin Alvarado (Red Nation), Ma Vang, Trung Phan Quoc Nguyen, Neel Ahuja, Firat Kurt, Rana M. Jaleel, Lou Cornum, Amy Lee, Denise Khor, Sandy Grande, Anjali Nath, Jaskiran Dhillon, and Manu Karuka.Submissions CLOSEDInterventions in Pacific Islands Studies and Trans-Pacific Studies Guest edited by Jinah Kim (Cal State, Northridge) and Nitasha Sharma (Northwestern) Proposals Due for all Sections: October 15, 2020. Please send a 500 word proposal and CV to: Nitasha Sharma and Jinah Kim (n-sharma[at]northwestern.edu, jinah.kim[at]csun.edu) In this special issue of Critical Ethnic Studies we seek contributions that link the cultural, political, and social realities of the Pacific Islands with ongoing struggles against militarism, White supremacy, antiBlackness, gender based violence, environmental destruction, colonialism, and related phenomena across the US, Oceania, and Asia. This issue explores the conditions for and possibilities of solidarities and networks necessary to break the impasse that has emerged in Ethnic Studies when it comes to Pacific Islanders specifically, and Indigeneity more broadly. Why does scholarship employing the term “Trans-Pacific” tend to fly over Oceania, erasing Pacific Islanders while invoking the Pacific? As with other geographical formulations, like the Pacific Rim, “Trans-Pacific” institutionalizes yet obfuscates uneven relations between Asian Studies, Asian American Studies, and Pacific Islands Studies. In this issue, we hope to unblock the unwillingness to think through solidarity with regard to Indigeneity in Ethnic Studies. This presents a specific dilemma for Ethnic Studies as Trans-Pacific has become a dominant formulation for articulating diaspora in Asian/American Studies. We also aim to feature work on Asians in the Pacific that includes but also expands beyond the native/settler paradigm by considering, for instance, sites like Okinawa. Alongside critique, we look for articles that illustrate solidarities and networks with an oceanic orientation to the ellipsis between Trans-Pacific and Pacific Islands studies. See Submissions page for more details. Moving to Open AccessAs of Issue 7.1 (forthcoming Fall 2020), CES will be online-only and open access! Check back for more details. Statement in Support of Marc Lamont HillDecember 08, 2018 We are writing as editors and board members of Critical Ethnic Studies to express our adamant support for Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, a member of our journal's editorial board. For offering an ethical and considered position on Palestinian equality, Marc Lamont Hill is facing attempts to malign his scholarship and calls to dissolve his tenured position at Temple University. These attacks are wholly inappropriate. We call upon academic communities and faculty associations to uphold the freedoms of all scholars to make critiques of state violence, particularly scholars who are Black, Palestinian, Indigenous, queer and trans (never mutually exclusive groups).We stand with Marc Lamont Hill and affirm that scholars have important responsibilities to analyze and speak out against injustice.Eve Tuck and K. Wayne Yang, Co-Editors of Critical Ethnic StudiesCritical Ethnic Studies Editorial BoardCritical Ethnic Studies provides a space for unique and insurgent critique among academic and activist intellectuals within ethnic studies. It invites interdisciplinary works that reposition the guiding assumptions of other fields, and engage the new methodologies, philosophies, and propositions of this emerging intellectual formation. It recognizes that distinct fields have been collapsed in the institutionalization of Ethnic Studies in universities, and presses back against equivocations which domesticate critique and action.The Journal encourages and enacts several related, multilayered lines of inquiry. First, this journal questions the nation state model, paying attention to the present manifestations of colonialism, extra-national effects of globalization and privatization, as well as structural redevelopment programs on Indigenous people and people of color.Excerpts past issues of Critical Ethnic Studies. For more info see our Current Issue page.Second, this journal appraises the productive tensions between fields that have institutionalized together under the umbrella of Ethnic Studies. Particularly, Indigenous Studies has attended to ongoing settler colonialism and ongoing Indigenous resistance to occupation and erasure, whereas Ethnic Studies has often been vexed by the ways in which discussions of race, civil rights, immigration, labor exploitation, and inclusion may ignore settler colonialism.Third, by explicitly foregrounding white supremacy as a logic and social formation intimately abetted by race and racism, the journal provide trenchant critiques of how and why race, racism, and antiblackness persist and not merely state or describe their persistence.Fourth, the journal reflects intersectional, feminist and queer analyses that treats categories such as race, class, gender, and sexuality not as additive modes of identity, oppression, or discrimination--but rather as constitutive, as robust analytics for critically apprehending and theorizing alternatives.
