Writing against Racial Injury recalls the story of Asian American
student rhetoric at the site of language and literacy education in
post-1960s California. What emerged in the Asian American
movement was a recurrent theme in U.S. history: conflicts over
language and literacy difference masked wider racial
tensions. Bringing together language and literacy studies,
Asian American history and rhetoric, and critical race theory,
Hoang uses historiography and ethnography to explore the politics
of Asian American language and literacy education: the growth of
Asian American student organizations and self-sponsored writing;
the ways language served as thinly veiled trope for race in the
influential Lau v. Nichols; the inheritance of a rhetoric of injury
on college campuses; and activist rhetorical strategies that
rearticulate Asian American racial identity. These fragments
depict a troubling yet hopeful account of the ways language and
literacy education alternately racialized Asian Americans while
also enabling rearticulations of Asian American identity, culture,
and history. This project, more broadly, seeks to offer
educators a new perspective on racial accountability in language
and literacy education.
