Abstract

ABSTRACT This article explores efforts by San Francisco based Asian American youth organizers to build meaningful cross-racial coalitions. Based upon two years of ethnographic field work with Fist Up, I offer an analysis of how youth organizers carried out the unsettling work of practicing what Roseann Liu and Savannah Shange have described as thick solidarity. Interrogating the model minority myth required that Asian American youth organizers develop sophisticated understandings its relationship to anti-Black political projects.
