Rediscovering the Conflict Zone: Can the Subaltern Redefine the Theory?
International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v35 n7 p775-779 2022
By utilizing autoethnography as a research method of a reflective self-examination set within the author's cultural context and experiential world, this essay elucidates the nuanced positionality of Asians/Asian Americans at the intersection of the model minority myth discourse, colonial narratives, and the black-white binary paradigm of race relations by the employment of Critical Whiteness Studies (CWS). While the recent global movement toward racial awareness pushes us to consider the use of CWS, probing into the positionality of Asians/Asian Americans from the perspective of the aforementioned intersection helps us understand the carefully constructed racial paradigm that sets up the complex of the racial status quo. The paradigm has not only created the precarious space for those whose racial identities do not fit in the binary--inclusive of but not limited to Indigenous people, Asians, Latinx, and multiracial people--but has also polarized whites under the white supremacist system.
