Book Description
Stories and personal narratives are powerful tools for engaging in self-reflection and application of critical theory in higher educational contexts. This edited text centers "name stories" as a vehicle to promote readers’ understanding of social identity, oppression, and intersectionality in a variety of educational contexts from residence halls and classrooms to faculty development workshops and executive leadership board rooms. The contributors in this volume reveal how names may serve as entry points through which to foster learning and facilitate conversations about identity, power, privilege, and systems of oppression. Through an intersectional perspective, chapter authors reveal interlocking systems of oppression in education while also providing recommendations, lessons learned, reflection questions, and calls to action for those working to transform and advance equity-minded campus climates. This unique volume is for educators at colleges and universities doing equity work, seeking ways to initiate, facilitate, and maintain rich conversations about identity.

Book Description
Any serious consideration of Asian American life forces us to reframe the way we talk about racism and antiracism. The current emphasis on racial identity obscures the political economic basis that makes racialized life in America legible. This is especially true when it comes to Asian Americans. This book reframes the conversation in terms of what has been called ""racial capitalism"" and utilizes two extended case studies to show how Asian Americans perpetuate and resist its political economy.

Book Description
Asian migration and mobilities are transforming education cultures in the Anglosphere, prompting mounting debates about ‘tiger mothers’ and ‘dragon children’, and competition and segregation in Anglosphere schools. This book challenges the cultural essentialism which prevails in much academic and popular discussion of ‘Asian success’ and in relation to Asian education mobilities. As anxiety and aspiration within these spaces are increasingly ethnicised, the children of Asian migrants are both admired and resented for their educational success. This book explores popular perceptions of Asian migrant families through in-depth empirically informed accounts on the broader economic, social, historical and geo-political contexts within which education cultures are produced. This includes contributions from academics on global markets and national policies around migration and education, classed trajectories and articulations, local formations of ‘ethnic capital’, and transnational assemblages that produce education and mobility as means for social advancement. At a time when our schooling systems and communities are undergoing rapid transformations as a result of increasing global mobility, this book is a unique and important contribution to an issue of pressing significance. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.
