Presentation
The surge of the anti-Asian bigotry since the COVID-19 has aroused a general
awareness about the prejudices against Asian populations. However, its causes,
patterns and responses remain little explored. This international conference will bring
together researchers and activists from Europe and North America to compare the
memories, representations and recognition of Asian populations in different national
contexts. Two central questions are addressed : First, how do groups and individuals
with Asian heritage appropriate collective memories to fight for a fairer representation
in Europe and in North America ? Secondly, how do different regimes of diversity in
multicultural democratic countries determine the recognition of Asian minorities in the
public space ? Through a transatlantic dialogue, we expect to come up with plausible
directions for future research and actions on Asian minorities acknowledgement in
Western societies.
