Series Editor: David Kenley (Dakota State University)

This special issue of (Columbia UP and the Association for Asian Studies) focuses on 鈥淕lobal Anti-Asian Racism,鈥 a phenomenon, particularly in the guise of Yellow Peril, that has endured for centuries around the globe. In Europe and the Americas, Asian immigrants and refugees are and were treated as threats to national security, as well as the society/culture of American (whether US, Latin American, Central American, Caribbean or Canadian) and European people. Yellow Peril and anti-Asian racism is also found in Africa, Australia, and New Zealand鈥攚herever Asian immigrants and refugees found themselves, anti-Asian sentiments quickly followed.听

In the hope that this volume will be widely adopted by specialists and non-specialists alike, as well as serve as a valuable pedagogical resource for teachers, we seek shorter submissions that range in variety鈥攖raditional academic essays that have a historical or theoretical orientation or that thematically engage in cross-comparative Asian national perspectives鈥攁s well as creative and personal pieces that delve into how people have experienced or witnessed anti-Asian racism and/or Yellow Peril from different vantage points and perspectives. While we are living in an era of profound and violent anti-Asian racism, the volume seeks perspectives that go beyond our current COVID-19 moment to consider the ways in which anti-Asian racism has persisted across time and space.
