Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting: Afro-Asian Connections and the Myth of Cultural Purity

Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting: Afro-Asian Connections and the Myth of Cultural Purity

Vijay Prashad
3.9/5 ( ratings)
Selected as One of the Village Voice's Favorite 25 Books of 2001

In this landmark work, historian Vijay Prashad refuses to engage the typical racial discussion that matches people of color against each other while institutionalizing the primacy of the white majority. Instead he examines more than five centuries of remarkable historical evidence of cultural and political interaction between Blacks and Asians around the world, in which they have exchanged cultural and religious symbols, appropriated personas and lifestyles, and worked together to achieve political change.
