Description: "Utilizing the concept of aphasia, this book demonstrates how Cambodian refugee narratives resist state violence and take head-on hegemonic discourses across popular and scholarly spaces that prop up colonial, imperial, capitalist, heteropatriarchal, and ableist formations of the Cold War in Cambodia"--
Review Quotes: "Refugee Lifeworlds is a brilliant weaving of epistemological intervention, autofiction as political grievance, and abolitionist knowledge production. Argued with care and beautifully written, this profound book is invaluable for understanding the intersections of war, imperialism, and disability."--Jasbir K Puar, author of The Right to Maim: Debility, Capacity, Disability
