Purchase: CUNY FORUM Volume 11:1
CUNY FORUM, Volume 11:1 is inspired by the journal’s front cover image by Lisa Chin: the wry and iconic “everyday hero” that honors the practitioners of daily life within Asian American communities. These practitioners include essential and unrecognized workers, educators, artists, and everyday people coping with the aftermath of 9/11, Black Lives Matter, Covid-19, and anti-Asian xenophobia. Simply put, and as others have also noted, “we must become the heroes of our own stories.”
Together, the four distinct sections of Volume 11:1 create a forum, bringing the voices of artists, cultural workers, art curators, educators and writers from various New York and East Coast-based communities to deepen our understanding of the roots of contemporary Asian America; to challenge boundaries of ethnicity, caste, and gender; and to transform our communities.
- I – Basement Workshop
- II – What’s in a Name?
- III – Localizing New York Histories
- IV – To Begin, to Become
