The Changs Next Door to the Diazes
In The Changs Next Door to the Diazes, Wendy Cheng introduces the concept of regional racial formation in the chapter “Theorizing Regional Racial Formation.” This framework emphasizes how race is not only shaped by national or global structures, but also deeply informed by local and regional histories, politics, and geographies.
In at least 350 words, not including the prompt or headings, reflect on the theoretical concept of regional racial formation as outlined by Cheng. How does this framework challenge or expand dominant understandings of race and racialization in the United States? In what ways can analyzing race through a regional lens reveal the complexities and contradictions of racial identities, solidarities, and inequalities?
Use specific examples from the text to support your reflection, and consider how regional racial formation might inform your own critical understanding of race in your community, city, or region.
Additionally, discuss key points of the AAPI Latinos video.
