Yellow Peril in Vladivostok: The Chinese Diaspora in Russia and the Soviet Union
Dr. Urbansky will focus his discussion on the history of the Chinese diaspora during the late Tsarist Empire and the early Soviet Union. He will analyze the correlation between negative attributions and conflicts between Chinese immigrants and Europeans in urban spaces during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries – a period marked by the proliferation of pejorative notions in North America and among European colonial powers.
