Who Is the Asianist
Book •
The edited volume 'Who Is the Asianist' critiques conventional Asian studies by interrogating how race, empire, and area-studies formations have shaped knowledge production about Asia.
Edited by scholars including Andrew Jones and Nikhil Pal Singh, the collection brings together essays that call for integrating ethnic studies, diaspora, and race into Asianist scholarship.
It emphasizes trans-Pacific and comparative frameworks to better account for racial formation and modernities across Asian contexts.
Contributors argue that without historicizing race, Asian studies risks romanticizing and reifying non-Western societies.
The book is positioned as essential reading for scholars seeking to broaden methodological and theoretical approaches in area studies.
