Linh Thủy Nguyễn Discusses Displacing Kinship @ University of Washington #AntiBlackness
The University of Washington hosts Linh Thủy Nguyễn, non-white female, to discuss her brand new book, Displacing Kinship: The Intimacies of Intergenerational Trauma in Vietnamese American Cultural Production. Gus T. caught a flier for this event, but was more intrigued after investigating Professor Nguyễn's earlier report: “Loving Couples and Families:” Assimilation as Honorary Whiteness and the Making of the Vietnamese Refugee Family. In this 2021 exploration, Nguyễn acknowledges how non-white people born in Vietnam and non-white people classified as Asian at large are positioned in opposition to and apart from non-white people classified as black. Gus felt this was important to acknowledge since there's a frequent assumption that all non-white people are working together to solve The Problem. This point became more salient when Gus attended the event and observed Professor Nguyễn's partner, who appears to be a White Man.🐮🔔 Gus won a brand new copy of Displacing Kinship and got a detailed signature from Professor Nguyễn. However, Gus T. does not believe Dr. Eddie Moore Jr., Professor Linh Thủy Nguyễn or any other non-white person who's engaged in sexual activity with a White person is serious about Replacing White Supremacy With Justice. Dr. Frances Cress Welsing used to say: Tell me what you do with you genitals, and I'll tell you what you think of yourself. The late Pamela Evans Harris used to say: You can't lie down with White people, and then wake up to fight White Supremacy/Racism. Gus attended this event - and asked a question - while simultaneously hosting the Katherine Massey Book Club's 13th session on Rev. Jim Jones. #TragicArrangements #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
