Paperback. This second volume of the Traces series addresses the fabrication of an idea of "race," and its historical dimensions. Topics range from an analysis of "responsibility" and the April Third Massacre that took place on Cheju Island off the Korean peninsula in 1948; to a discussion on the politics of writing about ethnicity in a North American context of "euphoria" for a multiculturalism fraught with unresolved tensions; to a study of the racializing role of religion under Japanese colonial rule. In the larger context of an attempt to engage in a multilingual discussion on racism and nationalism, Meaghan Morris asks, "Under what conditions may any worldly issue be considered 'the same' issue debated in different languages? What happens as it circulates between distinct academic cultures that may or may not overlap?" She begins to formulate her answer in the context of her experience of coming from Australia, without an understanding of Cantonese, to discuss issues of "race" and migration in a Hong Kong classroom.In so doing, she outlines a belief that, in order for Traces to challenge the prevailing distribution of theory, it is not enough to publish in multiple languages, but that the project must also scrutinize academic protocol. The contributors to this volume were asked to think about a "panic" involving race and migration of immediate concern to them. The results are a collection of essays which deal with the fabrication of an idea of "race" and its historical dimensions.

Sinopsis

The second volume of the Traces series, "Race" Panic and the Memory of Migration, explores complex relations between violence, historical memory, and the production of "ethnicity" and "race." Some essays analyze the panicked "othering" that has led to violence against Chinese Indonesians, and to the little-known massacres of Hui Muslims in nineteenth century China and of Cheju Islanders in Korea in 1948. Others examine the fraught discourses surrounding colonialism, immigration, citizenship, and nation-building in Australia, Taiwan, Japan, the United States, and Ireland. What new modes of inscribing experience might counter prejudice against migrant subjectivities? How can one articulate links between diverse subaltern struggles around the global movement of capital? Can shared memories of domination provide the basis for a cosmopolitanism more attentive to local identities?
