An attempt to put an Asian woman on Canada's $100 bill in 2012
unleashed enormous controversy. The racism and xenophobia that
answered this symbolic move toward inclusiveness revealed the
nation's trumpeted commitment to multiculturalism as a lie. It also
showed how multiple minor publics as well as the dominant public
responded to the ongoing issue of race in Canada. In this new
study, Christine Kim delves into the ways cultural conversations
minimize race's relevance even as violent expressions and
structural forms of racism continue to occur. Kim turns to literary
texts, artistic works, and media debates to highlight the struggles
of minor publics with social intimacy. Her insightful engagement
with everyday conversations as well as artistic expressions that
invoke the figure of the Asian allows Kim to reveal the affective
dimensions of racialized publics. It also extends ongoing critical
conversations within Asian Canadian and Asian American studies
about Orientalism, diasporic memory, racialized citizenship, and
migration and human rights.
