  • Acknowledgement and Reciprocity With/In Indigenous and Asian Canadian Writing
    In Place/Of Solidarity: Acknowledgement and Reciprocity with/in Indigenous and Asian Canadian Writing by Janey Mei-Jane Lew A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements of for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Sau-ling Wong, Chair Professor Colleen Lye Professor Beth Piatote Professor Shari Huhndorf Summer 2018 © 2018 Janey Mei-Jane Lew All rights reserved 1 ABSTRACT In Place/Of Solidarity: Acknowledgement and Reciprocity win/in Indigenous and Asian Canadian Writing by Janey Mei-Jane Lew Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Sau-ling Wong, Chair In Place/Of Solidarity argues the exigence of developing Asian Canadian critical praxes that align and move in solidarity with Indigenous sovereignties and radical resurgence movements. In the dissertation, I analyze a body of literary texts by contemporary Indigenous and Asian North American writers whose works contain instances of reciprocal representation. I argue that actions proceeding from and grounded in praxes of acknowledgement and reciprocity constitute openings to solidarity. By enacting Asian Canadian studies explicitly with decolonial solidarities in the foreground, I argue that Asian Canadian studies may not only work in ethical alignment with Indigenous knowledges and methodologies, but may also enliven and reconstitute the solidarities upon which Asian Canadian studies is premised. Bringing Asian Canadian studies into dialogue with scholarly work from Indigenous studies and recent research on Asian settler colonialism within a transnational Asian (North) American context, this dissertation considers reciprocal representations across a number of literary works by Indigenous and Asian Canadian women.

BACKGROUND: The CWPP Update was prepared by BA Blackwell & Associates in consultation with multiple stakeholders and key staff in the Parks, Communications, Fire Services, Engineering, Environmental Sustainability and Planning departments. The plan contains an assessment of fuel types and assets exposed to wildfire hazard across the District, and a set of recommendations aimed at reducing wildfire risk to people, infrastructure and the environment, with the focus on areas along the wildland-urban interface (WUI) zone. The Wildfire Risk Management System (WRMS) was used to identify areas of high hazard fuels associated with values at risk within the District. A total of 52 strategic recommendations have been proposed and summarised in Table 1 within the Executive Summary/Summary of CWPP Recommendations section at the beginning of the plan. Approximately 164 hectares (ha) of high hazard fuel types have been identified and the areas detailed in Section 5.1.1 Proposed Treatment Units, page 63, Table 15 and Map 11 Proposed and Past Treatments page 69 for locations.
