Body Counts: The Vietnam War and Militarized Refuge(es) examines how the Vietnam War has continued to serve as a stage for the shoring up of American imperialist adventure and for the (re)production of American and Vietnamese American identities. Focusing on the politics of war memory and commemoration, this book retheorizes the connections among history, memory, and power and refashions the fields of American studies, Asian American studies, and refugee studies not around the narratives of American exceptionalism, immigration, and transnationalism but around the crucial issues of war, race, and violence - and the history and memories that are forged in the aftermath of war. At the same time, the book moves decisively away from the "damage-centered" approach that pathologizes loss and trauma by detailing how first- and second-generation Vietnamese have created alternative memories and epistemologies that challenge the established public narratives of the Vietnam War and Vietnamese people.Explicitly interdisciplinary, Body Counts moves between the humanities and social sciences, drawing on historical, ethnographic, cultural, and virtual evidence in order to illuminate the places where Vietnamese refugees have managed to conjure up social, public, and collective remembering.

Labor, laws, and love. Yen Le Espiritu explores how racist and gendered labor conditions and immigration laws have affected relations between and among Asian American women and men. Asian American Men and Women documents how the historical and contemporary oppression of Asians in the United States has (re)structured the balance of power between Asian American women and men and shaped their struggles to create and maintain social institutions and systems of meaning. Espiritu emphasizes how race, gender, and class, as categories of difference, do not parallel but instead intersect and confirm one other.

Refugees and displacement are defining issues of the 21st century, with over 70 million asylum seekers, refugees, and stateless individuals forced from their homes as of 2020. Every two seconds, one person is forcibly displaced due to climate change, global epidemics, and ongoing conflicts. The SAGE Encyclopedia of Refugee Studies, edited by members of The Critical Refugee Studies Collective, serves as a vital and comprehensive resource for understanding the historical, political, and cultural dimensions of displacement.

Featuring over 250 authoritative articles, this landmark reference work is organized into three key themes: law, politics, and policy; humanitarianism and humanitarian organizations; and media, culture, and storytelling. Drawing from disciplines such as migration studies, Indigenous studies, critical race studies, environmental studies, sociology, political science, law, anthropology, and the arts, this encyclopedia critically examines refugee issues in relation to imperialism, racism, patriarchy, and militarism.

Beyond academic analysis, The SAGE Encyclopedia of Refugee Studies centers refugee voices through narratives, first-person accounts, and visual storytelling, highlighting the lived experiences, communities, and creative expressions of displaced individuals. This essential resource is invaluable for scholars, educators, policymakers, community-based organizations, and refugees themselves.
