Some of the books in my grad course, British Romanticism & Orientalism! The main primary texts are Woman of Colour and Northanger Abbey. Can’t wait to to teach these! @SaraNAhmed@twitter.com @zugenia@twitter.com @profchander@twitter.com @kerry_sinanan@twitter.com and many more! @Bigger6Romantix@twitter.com #orientalism #romanticism

Adding songs to my Orientalism syllabus: "Harajuku Girls," "Hymn for the Weekend," "Princess of China" so far...more recommendations? #orientalism #racistlove

Gwen Stefani: "I Said, 'My God, I'm Japanese.’” #wtf #orientalism #culturalappropriation

RT @EricaKanesaka@twitter.com

It is disappointing that Gwen Stefani is choosing to double-down on her Orientalism in 2023. I remember how uncomfortable her “Harajuku Girls” era made me almost 20 years ago, but it wasn’t so easy to share those feelings pre-social media. https://www.allure.com/story/gwen-stefani-japanese-harajuku-lovers-interview

Has anyone written a good critique of seemingly well intentioned, "hard hitting" #Documentary #Films, the ones all the libs love and give awards to, as a clever tool of #Imperialism ?

I could really use it for some consciousness raising in one of my communities.

Feel free to DM me if that's more comfortable.

Migrant agricultural workers’ deaths in Ontario from January 2020 to June 2021: a qualitative descriptive study | International Journal for Equity in Health

“Conclusion
Migrant agricultural workers have been disproportionately harmed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Greater attention to the unique needs of this population is required to avoid further preventable deaths.”

Different scale of deaths, but Canada and other western countries have their own issues with migrant labour.

Shree Paradkar makes this case on today’s Short Cuts podcast.

Sure, there’s an orientalist discourse about Qatar (just as there is about all of West and South Asia). But there’s also a postcolonial, left, and queerfeminist lens at work in the critiques of ultra-capitalism, migrant labor exploitation and deaths, petro-states, and the absence/limited nature of queer, trans, and women’s freedoms. Western orientalism and uncritical “Global South” solidarity (which scarcely even applies here: this is a Global North state in economic terms) are emphatically *not* the only possible political positions. #poco #petrostates #migrantrights #lgbtqrights #postcolonialism #critiquebeforesolidarity #orientalism

I'm planning some new research, and I want to know any recs on the intersection of trans studies and race, specifically Asian and Orientalist representations! Help! #transstudies #academicmastodon #litstudies #research #orientalism
