Helen Heran Jun explores how the history of U.S. citizenshiphas positioned Asian Americans and African Americans in interlocking sociopolitical relationships since the mid nineteenth century. Rejecting the conventional emphasis on interracial prejudice, Jun demonstrates how a politics of inclusion has constituted a racial Other within Asian American and African American discourses of national identity.Race for Citizenship examines three salient moments when African American and Asian American citizenship become acutely visible as related crises: the Negro Problem and the Yellow Question in the mid to late 19th century; World War IIera questions around race, loyalty, and national identity in the context of internment and Jim Crow segregation; and postCivil Rights discourses of disenfranchisement and national belonging under globalization. Taking up a range of cultural textsthe 19th century black press, the writings of black feminist Anna Julia Cooper, Asian American novels, African American and Asian American commercial film and documentaryJun does not seek to document signs of crossracial identification, but instead demonstrates how the logic of citizenship compels racialized subjects to produce developmental narratives of inclusion in the effort to achieve political, economic, and social incorporation. Race for Citizenship provides a new model of comparative race studies by situating contemporary questions of differential racial formations within a long genealogy of antiracist discourse constrained by liberal notions of inclusion.
