Jay Caspian Kang Speaking Topics

  • Is there really an Asian-America?

    A provocative talk that argues that the modern boundaries of "Asian-American" as a racial/demographic group do not make sense to the vast majority of people who have been classified under that label. No "Asian-Americans" think of themselves as "Asian-American," but rather as "Chinese" or "Korean" or "Indian-American." This talk argues for a disaggregation of this category and suggests better ways to foster real solidarity between these groups.

  • The History of Korean Food in America

    A look at how restaurants in Koreatown, Los Angeles developed from the late seventies til today and the influences, both from Latino neighbors in the United States and from successive waves of immigrants from Korea and China helped shape the modern Korean restaurant. If you want to know why your favorite Korean BBQ restaurant exists, Kang will give you the history.

  • The Making of Asian-American Flushing

    A history of how Flushing went from being a middle-class Irish neighborhood to the mecca of Asian-America on the East Coast. Topics discussed: gentrification, Tommy Huang, the "Asian Donald Trump," and migration patterns within cities.
