Disrupting Curriculum of Violence on Asian Americans
An, Sohyun
Review of Education, Pedagogy & Cultural Studies, v42 n2 p141-156 2020
The daily encounters of explicit, implicit, direct, and indirect anti-Asian racism are the impetus of Sohyun An's work. Through critical race teaching and research, she seeks to debunk and disrupt curricular exclusions and misrepresentations of Asian Americans and their insidious effects on all children. This article is a part of such work. It offers a critical analysis of the systemic exclusion and misrepresentation of Asian Americans in the history curriculum. In the following paragraphs, she first briefly discusses why the curriculum, particularly history curriculum, matters by building on what Cridland-Hughes and King (2015) called a curriculum of violence. Next, she reviews previous studies and identify persistent trends in the curricular treatment of Asian Americans in the official story of the United States. She then explicates and troubles such curricular practices from the Asian critical race theory (AsianCrit) perspective (Chang, 1993; Iftikar & Museus, 2018). Last, she concludes with a call for a more inclusive presentation of Asian Americans in the official curriculum and highlight the many ways that Asian Americans are fighting for such a curriculum.
