Asian Migrations and Settler Colonialism in Latin America

Sat, May 28, 8:00 to 9:30am, TBA

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

This panel examines the relationship between Asian migrations and settler colonialism in Latin America during the late-19th and early-20th centuries. Embracing Patrick Wolfe’s definition of settler colonialism as a “sustained institutional tendency to eliminate the indigenous population,” we explore how Asian migrants to Latin America were both victimized by and complicit with the logics of (white) settler colonial power as a world-historical process that established the racialized divisions of labor fundamental to Third World (or Global South) histories. Together, we assess the Latin American legacies of settler colonialism and debate their global implications in the past and in the present.
