DESCRIPTION:In his book on Asian-American identity\, The Loneliest Americans\, the Korean-American writer Jay Caspian Kang asserts that "Asians are the loneliest Americans." Cathy Hong Park has written that Asians "inhabit a purgatorial status: neither white enough nor black enough\, unmentioned in most conversations about racial identity." As someone who immigrated to the US from China at the age of 8\, I have mused if I am a putative insider but perpetual outsider. In this talk\, I want to explore the parameters of the Asian-American "purgatory" and the paradox of its identity: Can an identity formed largely by the perception of others find solidarity?  How does such an identity evolve over time through tides of immigration and assimilation? What does it mean to maintain the coherence of the individual while acknowledging the complexity of structural racism?\n\n\n\n\n\n5 pm Friday\, October 14th\, 2022\n\nCornerstone Screening Room\n\nSponsored by: Colorado College Political Science Department\, Journalism Institute\, English Department's Visiting Writers Series\, and Asian Studies Program This event is open to the general public.  https://www.coloradocollege.edu/newsevents/calendar/details.html?EventID=50149&amp\;booking=1SEQUENCE:0\n\nhttps://today.coloradocollege.edu/events/4979
