DESCRIPTION: "Critical Filipino Perspectives on Resisting Homeland Security Racism"    
 Friday, April 1, 2005   2:00 - 4:00 pm   370 Dwinelle Hall   University of 
 California, Berkeley      Speakers:   Nerissa Balce, Asst Professor of 
 Comparative Literature, UMass-Amherst   Lucy Burns, Asst Professor of World 
 Arts and Cultures, UCLA   Richard Chu, Asst Professor of History, 
 UMass-Amherst   Peter Chua, Asst Professor of Sociology, San Jose State 
 University   Robyn Rodriguez, Asst Professor of Sociology, Rutgers 
 University   Jeffrey Santa Ana, Asst Professor of English and American 
 Studies, Mount    Holyoke College   Rowena Tomaneng, Assoc Professor of 
 English, De Anza College      The symposium will focus on a particular 
 space of crisis and resistance in the era of what the panelists call 
 "Homeland Security racism," namely the deportation of U.S. Filipinos and 
 its linkages with the "War on Terror" as a project of U.S. Empire. The 
 panelists will examine the urgent concerns of surveillance culture around 
 the globe, racial profiling, sexual discrimination, detention and 
 deportation, and wars in the Middle East, contextualizing Filipino 
 deportation in the larger phenomenon of the U.S. government attacking its 
 own immigrant Asian, Latino and Middle Eastern communities since September 
 11, 2001. The symposium will also include discussion about the political 
 response of communities under assault by Homeland Security racism through 
 organizing, coalition-building, and protest actions. The panelists, who are 
 members of the Critical Filipina/o Studies Collective, a U.S.-based 
 national network of community-engaged scholars, professors, and educators, 
 will expand on the notion of "Homeland Security racism," which they have 
 partly articulated in their recently published report, "Resisting Homeland 
 Security: Organizing  against Unjust Removals of U.S. Filipinos," 
 accessible at   http://www.sjsu.edu/depts/sociology/living/removal.html     
 Organized and sponsored by: UCB Center for Race and Gender and UCB Critical 
 Filipina/o Studies Working Group      Co-sponsored by:   UCB Center for 
 Southeast Asia Studies   UCB Department of Comparative Ethnic Studies   UCB 
 Center for the Study of Sexual Culture   and UCB Department of Gender and
