This collection of essays interrogates literary and cultural
narratives in the contexts of the incidents following 9/11. The
collected essays underscore the new and (re)emerging racial,
political, and socio-cultural discourse on identity related to
terrorism and identity politics. Specifically, the collection
examines South Asian American identities to understand culture,
policy making, and the implicit gendered racialization,
sexualization, and socio-economic classification of minority
identities within the discourse of globalization. The essays
included here relocate the discourse of race and cultural studies
to an examination of transnational labor diasporas, reopen debate
on critical constructions of U.S. racial and cultural formations,
and question the reconfiguration of gendered and sexualized
discourses of the South Asian diaspora within the context of
national security and terrorism. This book provides a multifaceted
account of South Asian racialization and belonging by drawing from
disciplines across the humanities and the social sciences. The
scholars included here employ methods of ethnographic studies as
well as literary, culture, film, and feminist analysis to examine a
wide range of South Asian cultural sites: novels, short stories,
cultural texts, documentaries, and sports. The rich intellectual,
theoretical, methodological, and narrative tapestry of South Asians
that emerges from this inquiry enables us to trace new patterns of
South Asian cultural consumption post-9/11 as well as expand
notions and histories of "terror." This volume makes an important
contribution to renewing scholarship in the key areas of
representations of race, labor, diaspora, class, and culture while
implicating that there needs to be a simultaneous and critical
dialogue on the scope and reconnections within postcolonial
studies.
Civility, Free Speech, and Academic Freedom in Higher Education:
Faculty on the Margins represents a multidisciplinary approach,
deploying different theoretical, methodological, sociological,
political, and creative perspectives to articulate the stakes of
civility for marginalized faculty within the landscape of higher
education. How has the discourse on civility and free speech within
academia become a systemic and oppressive form of silencing,
suppressing, or eradicating marginal voices? What are some overt
and covert ways in which institutions are using the logic of
civility to control faculty uprising against the increasingly
corporate-controlled landscape of higher education? This collection
of essays examines the continuum between the post-9/11 and the
post-Trump era backlashes. It details the organized retaliations
against those in academia whose views and scholarships articulate
their discontents against the U.S.-led "War on Terror." It contests
the rise of White supremacy, Trump's Muslim ban, anti-immigrant and
racist government policies and rhetoric, and those who support the
Boycott and Divestment Sanctions movements within the corporatized
universities. All of these new and original essays shed light and
further the debate on the various modes of civility that have
become politicized within the U.S. academy. It will have a broad
appeal to a cross section of national and international academics,
activist scholars, social justice educators and researchers in the
field of higher education.
