This Handbook presents a transnational and interdisciplinary study of refugee narratives, broadly defined. Interrogating who can be considered a refugee and what constitutes a narrative, the thirty-eight chapters included in this collection encompass a range of forcibly displaced subjects, a mix of geographical and historical contexts, and a variety of storytelling modalities. Analyzing novels, poetry, memoirs, comics, films, photography, music, social media, data, graffiti, letters, reports, eco-design, video games, archival remnants, and ethnography, the individual chapters counter dominant representations of refugees as voiceless victims. Addressing key characteristics and thematics of refugee narratives, this Handbook examines how refugee cultural productions are shaped by and in turn shape socio-political landscapes. It will be of interest to researchers, teachers, students, and practitioners committed to engaging refugee narratives in the contemporary moment.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.
"This is a phenomenal book. Archipelago of Resettlement takes seriously the implication of Indigenous calls for place-based scholarship to refugee and migration studies and it ups the ante by engaging the accountabilities such calls demand. Gandhi exemplifies the possibilities of reading 'archipelagically' across Indigenous and Asian American studies, across settler colonies, and against US militarism and empire."--Jodi A Byrd, author of The Transit of Empire: Indigenous Critiques of Colonialism "Exploring with great rigor the refugee settlers' vexed relationship to Indigenous sovereignty, this strikingly original study demonstrates for us ways of knowing and connection otherwise--within, across, and beyond the incommensurable structural divides and multiple belongings. Deeply inspiring, Gandhi's archipelagic methodology elucidates compelling political possibilities for decolonial futures." --Lisa Yoneyama, author of Cold War Ruins: Transpacific Critique of American Justice and Japanese War Crimes "This brilliant book interweaves archival research, site visits, and oral interviews to map and grapple with the entangled histories of Vietnamese refugee resettlement, Indigenous displacement in Guam and Palestine, and the settler colonialism of the United States and Israel. Throughout, an archipelagic epistemology of the 'nước' is poetically articulated, an inspiring vision that calls forth refugee futurity and decolonial solidarities."--Craig Santos Perez, author of Navigating CHamoru Poetry: Indigeneity, Aesthetics, and Decolonization "Once dispersed across seemingly unconnected geographies of US empire, the aesthetic and archival sands, pebbles, and stones of the refugee settler condition are brilliantly gathered herein. The result is an archipelagic imaginary at once moved by and contributing to the confluence of today's most powerful decolonial currents."--Keith Feldman, author of A Shadow over Palestine: The Imperial Life of Race in America "A thought-provoking and truly original way of 'seeing' Vietnamese diasporic resettlement. Gandhi convincingly juxtaposes two numerically small and seemingly marginal populations and in the process raises universal questions of interest to scholars in refugee studies and US empire."--Jana K. Lipman, author of In Camps: Vietnamese Refugees, Asylum Seekers, and Repatriates
