The Sheila Y. Oliver Center for Politics and Race in America is a non-partisan, multidisciplinary fact tank focused on the intersection of race and politics in the U.S. It leverages Rutgers-Newark's faculty expertise to study how race shapes political attitudes, practices, and structures.

Asian America Rising: New Directions for Political Activism
Asian America Rising gathers an interdisciplinary group of established and emerging scholars of Asian American activism and politics, community organizers, artists, archivists, and others to highlight the diversity of twenty-first-century Asian American political movements across a number of critical areas. Based on deep collaborations between scholars and frontline organizers, contributors like Diane Fujino, Vichet Chhuon, Lakshmi Sridaran, Kim Compoc, and Yves Tong Nguyen examine different facets of the Asian American political experience, including the impact of immigrant detention and deportation; the emergence of conservative Chinese American opposition to affirmative action in higher education; abolitionist critiques of the Stop Asian Hate movement; and transnational resistance to U.S. economic and military dominance in Hawai‘i, the Philippines, and Okinawa.
