"Looking at a range of cases from around the Transpacific, the contributors to this book explore the complex formulations of race and racism emerging from the transoceanic migration and encounters in the region. Asia has a history of ceaseless, active, and multidirectional migration which continues to bear multilayered and complex genetic diversity. The traditional system of rank order between groups of people in Asia consisted of multiple 'invisible' differences in variegated entanglements, including descent, birthplace, occupation, and lifestyle. Transpacific migration brought about the formation of multilayered and complex racial relationships, as the physically indistinguishable yet multifaceted racialized groups encountered the hegemonic racial order deriving from the transatlantic experience of racialization based on 'visible' differences. Each chapter in this book examines a different case study, identifying their complexities and particularities, while contributing to a broad view of the possibilities for solidarity and human connection in a context of domination and discrimination. These cases include the dispossession of the Ainu people, the experiences of Burakumin emigrants in America, the policing of colonial Singapore, and data governance in India. A fascinating read for sociologists, anthropologists and historians, especially those with a particular focus on the Asian and Pacific regions"--
