This dissertation explores the intersections between the literatures of black and Asian migrations across U.S. imperial domains. Its primary focus is on African American, Japanese American, and Anglophone Filipino literatures, in the period from the transpacific rise of U.S. and Japanese imperialisms in the 1890s to the defeat of Japan and the emergence of a new, U.S.-dominated world order in the 1940s. The links between these literatures were initially forged by processes of U.S. imperial racialization, involving both "benevolent" tutelary uplift and overwhelming, sexualized violence. While the latter tends to fuse all forms of racial difference into a monolithic sexual threat, the former requires the proliferation and classification of racial differences into a progressive but hierarchical order of rule. Managing the contradiction between these processes, which converge at the site of racial embodiment, demands an ongoing perceptual training in an aesthetics of racialized terror. But these literatures provide resources for an alternative aesthetic and ethical training, a task of reading as learning to read, that improvises the conditions of collective responsibility as the antiphonal capacity of response. In doing so they reveal a transimperial horizon of racial correspondence, which W.E.B. Du Bois called the world problem of the color line. In literary and cultural texts emerging from African American journeys to the colonial Philippines, Filipino encounters with blackness on both sides of the Pacific, African American urbanization, and Japanese American incarceration and resettlement, by Du Bois, Eulalie Spence, Robert Johnson, Jose Garcia Villa, Nella Larsen, Toshio Mori, Hisaye Yamamoto, and others, I consider how discrepant articulations of black and Asian racial forms engender desires for mutual belonging that move along imperial pathways, while incessantly pointing towards what imperial racial formations exclude, or what eludes them.
