In order to learn from the lives destroyed (and lived) amid our inheritance of modern humanism and its uses of time, Almost Futures asks us to recognize new spectrums of feeling: the poetic, in the grief of protesters dispossessed by land speculation; the allegorical, in assembly line workers' laughter and sorrow; the iterant and intimate, in the visual witnessing of revolutionary and state killing; the haunting, in refugee writing on the death of their nation; and the irreconcilable, in refugees' inhabitation of history"--Provided by publisher.Critical refugee studies ;6.Sovereignty and refuge at world's endVietnam War, 1961-1975RefugeesVietnameseSocial conditionsVietnamese AmericansSocial conditionsSovereigntyGlobalizationVietnam War, 1961-1975Refugees.VietnameseSocial conditions.Vietnamese AmericansSocial conditions.Sovereignty.Globalization.Nguyen-Vo Thu-Huong1962-1605606BOOK996599572703316Almost Futures4168538UNISA
