Since the Covid-19, the surge of the anti-Asian bigotry has aroused a general awareness about the prejudices against Asian populations. However, its causes, patterns and responses remain little explored. This international conference brought together researchers and activists from Europe and North America to compare the memories, representations and recognition of Asian populations in different national contexts. Two central questions are addressed: first, how do groups and individuals with Asian heritage appropriate collective memories to fight for a fairer representation in Europe and in North America? Secondly, how do different regimes of diversity in multicultural democratic countries determine anti-racist politics and the recognition of Asian minorities in the public space?
