Published in Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music Education 21 (2): 57–88 [pdf]

These conversations occurred a year after the anti-Asian hate crimes in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2021, and two years after George Floyd’s murder sparked a wave of racial solidarity uprisings in 2020.

But within those blanket terms to describe “minorities” are dozens of cultures with unique heritages, ethnicities, and geographic locations.
