It’s difficult to look back at the first half of the 2020s without wincing. While the last six years ushered in events that shook the world, it also unleashed a flood of violence across Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities, leaving us gasping in between waves of grief. Even today, relief feels distant at times, as heavy-handed immigration raids and rapidly shifting policies push the country into what feels like a chaotic second act of the decade. Yet what has been witnessed and experienced in the 2020s isn’t random but rather a recurring theme in our country’s history, according to Dr. Scott Kurashige. In his latest release, ‘American Peril: The Violent History of Anti-Asian Racism,’ Kurashige points to historical moments that barely get a line, if any mention in history books used in formal K-12 education, but are still necessary to know in order to understand what is happening today and the work that needs to be done to steer the country into a more inclusive direction.
