Transpacific Antiracism introduces the dynamic process out of which
social movements in Black America, Japan, and Okinawa formed
Afro-Asian solidarities against the practice of white supremacy in
the twentieth century. Yuichiro Onishi argues that in the context
of forging Afro-Asian solidarities, race emerged as a political
category of struggle with a distinct moral quality and vitality.
This book explores the work of Black intellectual-activists of the
first half of the twentieth century, including Hubert Harrison and
W. E. B. Du Bois, that took a pro-Japan stance to articulate the
connection between local and global dimensions of antiracism.
Turning to two places rarely seen as a part of the Black
experience, Japan and Okinawa, the book also presents the accounts
of a group of Japanese scholars shaping the Black studies movement
in post-surrender Japan and multiracial coalition-building in
U.S.-occupied Okinawa during the height of the Vietnam War which
brought together local activists, peace activists, and antiracist
and antiwar GIs. Together these cases of Afro-Asian solidarity make
known political discourses and projects that reworked the concept
of race to become a wellspring of aspiration for a new society.
