This paper explores the possibilities and challenges of building cross-racial solidarity between Southeast Asian American and Black communities through an ethnographic account of a community-based educational space (CBES) working with low-income Southeast Asian American and Black youth. CBESs can play a unique role in teaching youth to engage in anti-racist work and building cross-racial coalitions. We argue that attention to challenging anti-Blackness is central to cross-racial coalitions but should also recognize the distinct nature of anti-Asian racism.
