Assimilation and Asian American Refusal
This article examines precedents of Asian American sociopolitical exclusion and marginalization in the United States and considers how appropriations of mobility and community building practices have resisted and relocated the assignations of those margins. Considering precedents of immigration exclusion, wartime incarceration, and refugee resettlement, the article excavates underlying continuities between these cases. It then turns to a specific…
Consumption and Vietnam's New Middle Classes
Driving is terrifying
This article examines the emerging infrastructure and market for automobiles in Vietnam as it transitions from a long history of motorbike mobility following Đổi Mới market renovation and peaking after the country’s accession to the World Trade Organization. Considering the context of recent free trade Agreements including the ASEAN Free Trade Area that are opening Vietnam’s markets to automobile imports and causing Vietnamese domestic car manufa…
Wandering Money
Remittances from the Vietnamese diaspora have played an important role in Vietnam's post-Cold War economic development, providing important inputs to a range of household spending areas, from education to health care. In the case of Vietnam, however, remittances are also caught up with memories and traumas of war, betrayal, separation, and exodus. This article traces that history and illustrates how Vietnam's particular post-war refugee and remit…
Money at the Margins

Over There”
In Vietnam, international remittances from the diaspora are a significant input into the national economy. Yet beyond capital transfer, remittance economies are also key social nodes offering insight into the extension of imaginations, expectations, and desires that accompany them. This article examines the role of gifting remittances in reestablishing, maintaining, and straining kinship networks disrupted by refugee exile, and catalyzing shiftin…
