E. B. Du Bois was charting a search for Afro-Asian solidarity and for an international anticolonialism. In \u003ci\u003eAfro-Orientalism\u003c\/i\u003e, Bill Mullen traces the tradition of revolutionary thought and writing developed by African American and Asian American artists and intellectuals in response to Du Bois’s challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAfro-Orientalism\u003c\/i\u003e unfolds here as a distinctive strand of cultural and political work that contests the longstanding, dominant discourse about race and nation first fully named in Edward Said’s\u003ci\u003e Orientalism\u003c\/i\u003e. Mullen tracks Afro-Asian engagement with U.S. imperialism-including writings by Richard Wright, Grace and James Boggs, Robert F. Williams, and Fred Ho-and companion struggles against racism and capitalism around the globe. To this end, he offers \u003ci\u003eAfro-Orientalism\u003c\/i\u003e as an antidote to essentialist, race-based, or narrow conceptions of ethnic studies and postcolonial studies, calling on scholars in these fields to re-imagine their critical enterprises as mutually constituting and politically interdependent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Univ Of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52685360431384,"sku":"9780816637492","price":19.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/afro-orientalism-paperback-softback-9780816637492","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
