DESCRIPTION:ASE Commons presents a talk by Dr. Manu Karuka\, Assistant Prof
 essor of American Studies at Barnard College\n\nEmpire’s Tracks boldly r
 eframes the history of the transcon-tinental railroad from the perspective
 s of the Cheyenne\, Lakota\, and Pawnee Native American tribes\, and the C
 hinese migrants who toiled on its path. In this meticulously re-searched b
 ook\, Manu Karuka situates the railroad within the violent global historie
 s of colonialism and capitalism. Through an examination of legislative\, m
 ilitary\, and business records\, Karuka deftly explains the imperial found
 ations of U.S. political economy. Tracing the shared paths of Indige-nous 
 and Asian American histories\, this multisit-ed interdisciplinary study co
 nnects military occupation to exclusionary border policies\, a linked chai
 n spanning the heart of U.S. imperialism.
