Show Notes
Asians, and especially Asian men, are often seen as outside the boundaries of citizenship, manhood, and sport. This episode explores that conundrum with Stan Thangaraj and Constancio Arnoldo. We look at the enthusiasm with which Asian communities engage sports and how Asian men use it to produce masculine identities even if those identities are fraught with contradictions. We explore the meanings and uses of sport historically and in the present. This episode centers an intersectional analysis power and coloniality with sports worlds.
