One Century after Thind: Continuing the Conversation
Join the Asian American / Asian Research Institute for a panel discussion for the launch of One Century after Thind, a special issue of Ethnic Studies Review, edited by Dr. Soniya Munshi (Queens College/CUNY) and Dr. Linta Varghese (Borough of Manhattan Community College/CUNY), examining legacies past and present of the U.S. Supreme Court case, United States v Bhagat Singh Thind (1923). Building on discussions in the special issue, we will continue examinations of caste in the South Asian diaspora, the criminalization of migrants, and the racialized citizenship debates in the early 20th century as part of U.S. state-making.
