Chewing the Fat: Nayan Shah (USC)

Nayan Shah’s research examines historical struggles over bodies, space and the exercise of state power from the mid- 19th to the 21st century. His scholarship has contributed to studies of race, sexuality and gender and to the history of migration, health, law and governance. Shah will give a talk titled “Refusing to Eat: Asian Pacific American Bodily Defiance from Tule Lake Stockade to Refugee Detention” as a part of the Asian American Studies series from the Center for Race, Indigeneity, and Transnational Migration.
