An oldie but goodie! What if someone told you that your national identity was rooted in anti-Blackness? In the United States, many Americans do not like this narrative, despite evidence to the contrary. In this episode, I interview sociologist Dr. Jae Kim, Visiting Professor at Davidson College about his research on Korean nationalism and its roots in anti-Blackness. My Kdrama Clubhouse friend, Kerris, helped me out with this interview. We had this chat in our Kdrama friends room on the app. We discuss the difference between anti-Blackness and anti-Black racism and how it dates further back in Korean history than many would think.
Articles Jae's written:
“The Darker to the Lighter Races”: The Precolonial Construction of Racial Inferiors in Korea" https://doi.org/10.5406/historypresent.9.1.0055
"Yellow over Black: History of Race in Korea and the New Study of Race and Empire" https://doi.org/10.1177/0896920513507787
