Desh Pardesh, South Asian, Identity politics, Anti-racism, Oral history, Salaam, ASAAP
This interview with Amita Handa on June 4th, 2015 is largely dedicated to a careful critique of the benefits and dangers of identity politics and intersectional theory, as well as a summary of the arts and culture she and her colleagues were involved with in the late 80s and early 90s, and her experiences as an anti-racism advocate from the late 80s until present (at time of interview). Handa provides a brief overview of her first introduction to Salaam Toronto, Desh Pardesh, and ASAAP and the various roles she later took on in each these, as well as the demise of Desh Pardesh. Also covered is Handa’s career as DJ, both running her radio show on CKLN: Masala Mixx (with Vanita Shirvastav) and at her various parties (including FunkAsia and Besharam). The interview closes with a discussion on the need for more South Asian spaces similar to Desh Pardesh in Toronto in 2015.
