Informed by a transnational, transimperial nexus of Indigenous, refugee, and diasporic relationalities, this panel works together to advance an ethic of SWANA solidarity that centers, advocates, and actively participates in securing the liberation and futurity of SWANA subjects, lands, and peoples that have heretofore been Othered and excluded in many historical and political contexts besides Asian American studies. Each scholar’s literary, cultural, and state archives traces the afterlife of multiple waves of imperial war and colonization across SWANA through diverse genres of writing and multimedia forms: such as the 2005 Iraqi Constitution and the Kurdish Constitution Writing Committee; an Iranian-Kurdish refugee’s experimental prison life narrative and an Afghan artist’s art performance that attempts to return 20 tons of military waste from Afghanistan to America; a Singaporean dissident surgeon’s memoir and field surgical manual written in the aftermath of massacres in the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon juxtaposed against Singapore’s role in the American and Israeli military industrial complex; and the traditional fibre art of Palestinian embroidery. Together, this panel of scholars juxtaposes Indigenous, refugee, diasporic, and marginalized Asian perspectives, memories, bodies, creative praxes, and knowledges to counter their erasure and complicity in imperial and colonial discourses and knowledge formations within a global context.
