This Month's Spotlight
With the fueling of hateful rhetoric towards the AAPI community around the coronavirus pandemic, we have witnessed the rise of anti-Asian racism and violence. The UC Berkeley Center for Race and Gender hosted this talk by historians Beth Lew Williams and Nayan Shah from the fall that details the deep roots of violence against Asian Americans: “The ‘Chinese Virus’: A History of Epidemics, Violence, and Anti-Racism. Below is a video recording of the talk as well as a link to the audio version.
