Posted by Mary L. Dudziak I am very sorry to report the death this week of Ronald Takaki, a pioneering s

cholar of ethnic studies. He was seventy years old, and a Professor Emeritus of Asian American Studies at U.C. Berkeley.
I first encountered him through Strangers From a Different Shore: A History of Asian Americans (1989). Takaki wrote or edited over twenty books, including Iron Cages: Race and Culture in 19th Century America (1979), A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America (1993) and Double Victory: A Multicultural History of America in World War II (2000).

His life and contributions are discussed in AsianWeek, which plans a series of articles in tribute to Takaki.

Comments:

Thanks, Mary, for this sad news. This is a big loss for us all.

I'm more familiar with Takaki's outstanding first book, A Pro-Slavery Crusade and a little bit with his book on plantation life in Hawaii. Those two gems are sometimes overlooked when people focus on Takaki's synthetic work on race in America. It's exciting how scholars shift their writing interests, isn't it?
