New open access book:
- "In a world increasingly shaped by displacement and migration, refuge is
both a coveted right and an elusive promise for millions. While
conventionally understood as legal protection, it also transcends judicial
definitions. In Lived Refuge, Vinh Nguyen reconceptualizes refuge
as an ongoing affective experience and lived relation rather than a fixed
category with legitimacy derived from the state. Focusing on Southeast
Asian diasporas in the wake of the Vietnam War, Nguyen examines three
affective experiences—gratitude, resentment, and resilience—to reveal the
actively lived dimensions of refuge. Through multifaceted analyses of
literary and cultural productions, Nguyen argues that the meaning of
refuge emerges from how displaced people negotiate the kinds of safety and
protection that are offered to (and withheld from) them. In so doing, he
lays the framework for an original and compelling understanding of
contemporary refugee subjectivity."
