Subversive Histories with Moon Ho Jung

Subversive Histories: Race, National Security, and Empire Across the Pacific

co-sponsored with Revolutionizing American Studies at the CUNY Graduate Center

Moon-Ho Jung traces the historical origins of the national security state – the heart and soul of the U.S. empire – to a series of U.S. “foreign” and “domestic” policies targeting Asians on both sides of the Pacific. By exploring how Asians came to be racialized and radicalized subjects of the U.S. empire before World War II, he will seek to reframe notions of movements across the Pacific.
