“…Consciousness-raising is the action taken to raise consciousness, which entails holding these tensions as a requirement. It is also our (multiracial) reality to hold the realities of both pain and privilege as distinct yet intertwined components of our identities and experiences (Hurd 2019;Stohry 2019). It is a dialectical space that can be both oppressive and/or transformative, the way critical pedagogue Peter McClaren describes schooling.…”

“…Do we dare invite the honorary white (Latinx/Asian) communities to utilize this space as the sites of rupture, our turf as our own resistance? For example, Stohry (2019) had already begun exploring these third spaces as sites and generators of her multiracial Third Culture Kid consciousness-raising journey. Furthermore, we argue for the consciousness of a racialized hierarchy and its subsequent functions.…”

We live in a world that desperately wishes to ignore centuries of racial divisions and hierarchies by positioning multiracial people as a declaration of a post-racial society. The latest U.S. 2020 Census results show that the U.S. population has grown in racial and ethnic diversity in the last ten years, with the white population decreasing. Our U.S. systems of policies, economy, and well-being are based upon “scientific” constructions of racial difference, hierarchy, Blackness, and fearmongering around miscegenation (racial mixing) that condemn proximity to Blackness. Driven by our respective multiracial Latinx and Asian experiences and entry points to anti-Blackness, this project explores the history of Latinx and Asian racialization and engagement with anti-Blackness. Racial hierarchy positions our communities as honorary whites and employs tactics to complicate solidarity and coalition. This project invites engagement in consciousness-raising in borderlands as sites of transformation as possible methods of addressing structural anti-Blackness.
