AFTER 1989: Race After Multiculturalism

The ‘90s are back! Although they’re being resurrected as the age of Cosby sweaters, animated gifs and 16-bit Nintendo soundtracks, the 1990s were stranger and more complex than youth culture nostalgia. As the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and the Cold War came to a close, the US found itself in the age of multiculturalism, premised on the belief we could all just get along, and a decade divided with tense, often surreal, racial spectacle. The Asian American Writers’ Workshop presents an alternative racial history of the 1990s through a feisty five-part event series that’s part symposium, part late night talk show, part Youtube nostalgia-fest.
