Thu-Huong Nguyen-Vo: Almost Futures, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Almost Futures is a tour de force. Within the immediate contexts of Vietnam studies and critical refugee studies, the book stands out as sui generis in its theoretical sophistication, interdisciplinary rigor, and beautiful prose. In a word, it is incomparably in a class by itself."--Jodi Kim, author of Settler Garrison: Debt Imperialism, Militarism, and Transpacific Imaginaries

"This is a truly singular study: it contends with the ghosts of Vietnam in material, conceptual, and aesthetic modes, and it is a book that belongs to the humanities in the broadest possible sense of the word, to include a resonant understanding of humanism and humanity."--Josephine Nock-Hee Park, School of Arts and Sciences President's Distinguished Professor of English, University of Pennsylvania
