Research Interests

As an interdisciplinary cultural historian, I explore how racial identities and politics are embedded within and expressed through cultural productions. My main research concerns revolve around social and cultural movements for racial justice of the late 1960s and early 1970s. My newest book, Like Water: A Cultural History of Bruce Lee, shows how Bruce Lees rise to global superstardom was impelled by transnational cultural exchanges in the transpacific, a zone structured by colonialism, capitalism, and militarism. Rethinking the Asian American Movement, which is a synthesis of scholarship on the Asian American movement of the 60s and 70s, argues that the movement was inherently built upon commitments to interracial and transnational solidarities. My first book, Chains of Babylon: The Rise of Asian America, shows how the category of Asian American, which encompasses Asians of many ethnicities in the U.S., was created by Asian American movement and thoroughly imbued with anti-racist and anti-imperialist political commitments.
