While refuge is conventionally understood as legal protection, it also transcends narrow judicial definitions. In Lived Refuge, Vinh Nguyen reconceptualizes refuge as an ongoing affective experience and lived relation, rather than a fixed category whose legitimacy is derived from the state. Focusing on Southeast Asian diasporas that formed 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 doing so, he lays the framework for an original and compelling understanding of contemporary refugee subjectivity. 410 0$aCritical Refugee Studies 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Refugees$2bisacsh 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Refugees. 676 $a305.906914097 700 $aNguyen$b Vinh, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01351928 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996565566003316 996 $aLived Refuge$93656313 997 $aUNISA
