{"pk":61446,"title":"“Anti-Marcos Filipinos” and Other Anti-Imperialist Diasporas: The Solidarity Politics of the Committee for Justice for Domingo and  Viernes’s (CJDV)","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This article examines the solidarity politics of the Committee for Justice for Domingo and Viernes (CJDV), a legal defense committee organized in the wake of the June 1, 1981 political assassinations of two Filipinx-American trade unionists and solidarity activists, Silme Domingo and Gene Viernes. Specifically, I examine the ways CJDV activists consistently linked the tragic deaths Domingo and Viernes to a pattern of political repression faced by not only “anti-Marcos Filipinos,” but also Latin American, Haitian, and Palestinian solidarity activists in the U.S. In order to theorized this broader community of struggle, I develop the concept of “anti-imperialist diasporas.”","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"activism, diaspora"}],"section":"Essays","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8vh8t08x","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Michael","middle_name":"","last_name":"Schulze-Oechtering","name_suffix":"","institution":"Western Washington University","department":""}],"date_submitted":"2020-08-23T00:57:09Z","date_accepted":"2020-08-23T00:57:09Z","date_published":"2021-03-03T21:39:18Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/alonfilipinxjournal/article/61446/galley/47411/download/"}]}
