Asian Australian Cultural Politics in Education

This book delves into the dynamics of contemporary Asian racialisation and anti-Asian racism, exploring how these entangled phenomena shape the experiences of Asian communities across various education contexts.It focusses on the Australian context, with its unique and understudied cultural positioning, to provide a distinct analytical lens for examining the specificities of Asian racialisation. Simultaneously, the chapters speak to transnational dialogue on racialisation and racism by exploring a range of stories from various white settler colonial nations, particularly the United States, Canada and New Zealand. Drawing on chapter contributions written exclusively by scholars identifying as Asian, this work serves as an important piece of minority voice scholarship on the multifaceted nature of Asian racialisation and anti-Asian racism.In interrogating the nuances of Asian racialisation within education settings, it considers context-specific opportunities for anti-Asian anti-racism in educational institutions and explores the potential of anti-racist public pedagogy. This important resource will inform the research and practice of educators, researchers, policymakers, administrators and advocates who have an interest in race and education.
