What is China’s exposure to Black people and how is race handled in China today? What are popular misconceptions and how did they originate?
Black Identity in the Context of Chinese History explored how China’s culture and history relate to Black identity and the broader understanding of race. Panelists also provided insight into how being in China can shape views of one’s own Black identity.
The event featured Kori Cooper, J.D. Candidate at Columbia Law School; Amani Core, China Intern at Albridght Stonebridge Group; and Aisha Udochi, Doctoral Candidate at Howard University. It was moderated by Dr. Keisha Brown, Assistant Professor at Tennessee State University.
This was the second session in a three-part series titled The Black American Identity in China. It was hosted by NABEA, Black China Caucus, and supported by Spill Stories.
