In Canada, activists from racialized communities took leading roles in the struggle over Canadian identity. Voices Rising examines Asian Canadian political and cultural activism around community building, identity making, racial equity, and social justice. Informed by a postcolonial and postmodern cultural critique, Voices Rising traces the trajectory of progressive cultural discourse generated by Asian Canadian cultural activists over the course of several generations. Xiaoping Li draws on historical sources and personal testimonies to convincingly demonstrate how culture acts as a means of engagement with the political and social world. As an interdisciplinary inquiry addressing topical issues of "race," ethnicity, identity, and transculturalism, Voices Rising will be welcomed by scholars, researchers, and students in Canadian studies, cultural studies, ethnic histories, postcolonial theory, globalization studies, diaspora theory, and transcultural analysis. The general reader interested in Canadian identity and cultural history will also find this book accessible and useful.AsiansCanadaEthnic identityAsiansCanadaSocial life and customsAsiansCanadaPolitics and governmentAsiansCanadaBiographyAsiansCanadaInterviewsSocial participationCanadaArtistsCanadaInterviewsCanadiens d'origine asiatiqueEntretiensCanadiens d'origine asiatiqueIdentité ethniqueCanadiens d'origine asiatiqueMoeurs et coutumesCanadiens d'origine asiatiquePolitique et gouvernementCanadiens d'origine asiatiqueBiographiesParticipation socialeCanadaArtistesCanadaEntretiensAsiansEthnic identity.AsiansSocial life and customs.AsiansPolitics and government.AsiansAsiansSocial participationArtistsCanadiens d'origine asiatiqueCanadiens d'origine asiatiqueIdentité ethnique.Canadiens d'origine asiatiqueMoeurs et coutumes.Canadiens d'origine asiatiquePolitique et gouvernement.Canadiens d'origine asiatiqueParticipation socialeArtistes971.00495Li Xiaoping1954-1566156MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782625803321Voices rising3836521UNINA
