Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Pennsylvania State University, 2016.

Following Schueller (2003), I used critical race theory (Delgado & Stefancic, 2005, 2012; Goldberg, 1993, 2009; Harpalani, 2003, 2013; I. H. F. Lopez, 1994; Omi & Winant, 1994; Taylor, 2013) as an intervention into postcolonial theory (Chakrabarty, 2000; Chatterjee, 1993; Gandhi, 1998; Mani, 1998; U. Narayan, 1997a; Prashad, 2000; Said, 1979; Sinha, 2000a) to explore the relevance of the concept of race in the South Asian American (SAA) experience in the U.S. and how SAAs learn to become racialized. The focus in this study was on how participants learned, understood, and made sense of their racialized experience. Learning was defined from a sociocultural perspective using Cultural Historical Activity Theory (Engestrom, 1987, 1999c, 2001; Sawchuk, 2003). Feminist ethnography was the research approach used to capture the thick descriptions of the SAA experience. The research was conducted in Summer, a college town, located in a northeastern state in the United States. Thematic narrative analysis (Riessman, 1993, 2008) complemented by Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT), postcolonial feminist theory, and critical race theory was the analytical lens used in this study. The participants in the study learned to become South Asian American, a distinct racial identity. The data suggests that the concept of race is learned and that religion and caste (culture) in conjunction with skin color, hair color, and other physical attributes (biology) constitute the SAA racial category. SAAs are racialized differently from other groups, and following Goldberg's (2009) typology, I call this type of differential racialization (Delgado & Stefancic, 2005, 2012), Racial South Asian Americanization. Looking at religion and caste as attributes of race decenters the dominant American perspective on race and racism, thus calling for a radical retheorization of race (Loomba,1998; Schueller 2003). This study contributes to postcolonial theory, Desicrit (the form of critical race theory that focuses on SAAs), CHAT, race theory, South Asian American Studies, and adult learning by demonstrating the relevance of race in the SAA experience.
