“From Liberdade to Little Tokyo: Resisting Racism and Erasure, Building Cross-Racial Solidarity”
|
|
Long a home to Afro and Japanese-Brazilian communities, the Liberdade neighborhood in São Paulo/Brazil has survived forces of displacement, exclusion, and segregation. What can we learn about resistance to erasure and removal from this pan-ethnic history? What is the role of art and museums in constructing a collective memory of place and justifying a “right to the city”?
We will put Liberdade in dialogue with other ethnic neighborhoods in the Japanese diaspora, hearing from discussants who will share their experiences with uplifting marginalized histories, place-based organizing, resistance to gentrification, and building solidarity across classes and race/ethnicity in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles; and San Jose Japantown.
Discussants
• Patrícia de Oliveira (Movimento dos Aflitos)
• Henrique Yagui Takahashi (OSU, Coletivo Amarelitude)
• San José Nikkei Sisters
• JTTown Action and Solidarity
Time: Dec. 4th 1:00-2:30pm EST
Location: online event
This event will be held at Emory University in collaboration with Afro Brazilian and Asian American grassroots movements such as Movimentos dos Aflitos, San José Nikkei Sisters, and JTown Action and Solidarity.

This funding partnership between NSF and NEH supports projects to develop and advance knowledge concerning dynamic language infrastructure in the context of endangered human languages — languages that are both understudied and at risk of falling out of use. Funding can support fieldwork and other activities relevant to the digital recording, documentation and analysis, and archiving of endangered language data, including the preparation of lexicons, grammars, text samples, and databases. Funding is available in the form of one- to three-year senior research grants and conference proposals. Fellowship support is available through a separate funding opportunity administered by NEH. Note: a conference proposal should generally be submitted at least a year in advance of the scheduled date of the conference. For additional information about creating and submitting conference proposals, please refer to PAPPG Chapter II. E.9.
