Questioning Racial Binaries: Co-Ethnic Racialisation, Intersectionality, and Immigration Hierarchies in East Asia

This lecture by Elaine Lynn-Ee Ho (National University of Singapore) advances contemporary scholarship on ethnicity, migration, and racialisation by examining new dynamics of racism that complicate the conventional white/Other binary often referenced in Western migrant-receiving societies. Drawing on migration trends in East Asia, including Singapore, China, Japan, and South Korea, the lecture foregrounds co-ethnic racialisation and intersectionality as critical frameworks for understanding the way that intersecting social categories shape migrant identities and produce “polysemic immigration hierarchies."
