This open access edited volume addresses the multi-layered relations
between migration, transnational flows, and the contested meanings of race
in Asia. It tries to answer the following questions: how do migration and
transnational flows from the Western world impact racial knowledge
formation in Asian societies? To what extent do they challenge, perpetuate,
and reshape unequal power relations based on the intersection of race,
gender, class, nationality, citizenship, and migration status in Asia? How
are dominant Western racial categories such as race, whiteness, and
blackness redefined and reconstructed in the context of the Covid-19
pandemic, when transnational mobility became both heavily restricted and
stigmatized ? The book is divided into three parts: Race, Language and
Migration status, Covid-19 and the Dynamics of Racialization, Gender and
Interracial Encounters. This book positions itself in the nexus of race,
migration and pandemic research and will make a significant contribution to
critical race studies, whiteness studies, globalization, multiculturalism,
and social transformation in Asia.
