Valverde Dariotis
Valverde Dariotis’ Academics Awaken Power, Resistance, and Being Woke illustrates the importance of being conscious in one’s academic endeavor.
It addresses the contemporary experiences of Asian Americans’ in higher
education and how perceived injustice has motivated them into activism. From
the reading, I agree with the author’s description of being awake as a series
of adaptable procedures of data collection and learned experience resulting in
the stunning acknowledgment that even the education systems that are intended
to mistreat us will actually free us instead.
Robyn Magalit: Upward and Onward Epilogue
With the main focus being
to address the contemporary
experiences of Asian Americans in Higher education and activism, this epilogue
argues for ethnic and Asian American studies to come together and renew their
commitment to both community and activism. I support the author’s rejection of
academic elitism that insists academics should remain on top of fray political
activism.
