Dancing in the Aftermath of Anti-Asian Violence
edited by SanSan Kwan & Yutian Wong

As a multi-media publication, Dancing in the Aftermath of Anti-Asian Violence is a particularly accessible and useful teaching tool.  Each essay/entry stands alone as an easily assigned viewing/reading to engender vibrant class discussion.  Furthermore and as a continued act of investment in these histories and people, please reach out to DSA ([email protected]) for information on inviting contributors to give a lecture, master class, and/or lecture/demonstration. Dancing in the Aftermath of Anti-Asian Violence tells a living history and we encourage dance studies educators to engage with its respondents directly, as an act of political, financial, and cultural investment.

Share it. Cite it. Teach it.
