Breaking the Chains
Deemed the funniest Australian success story yet! “Uni Student Preston King started off with little chance in his favour. With only five hundred dollars in his back pocket and the odds heavily stacked against him, he worked like a slave-rat during his university life. By the time he graduated, he had seven scholarships to his name, a top graduate salary at a multinational corporation, a property portfolio with a combined worth of seven figures and memories to last a lifetime. Never underestimate the potential of a student with a burning desire to get rich.” A must read for anyone with a sense of humour!

Lived Refuge
A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. In a world increasingly shaped by displacement and migration, refuge is both a coveted right and an elusive promise for millions. While conventionally understood as legal protection, it also transcends judicial definitions. In Lived Refuge, Vinh Nguyen reconceptualizes refuge as an ongoing affective experience and lived relation rather than a fixed category with legitimacy derived from the state. Focusing on Southeast Asian diasporas in the wake of the Vietnam War, Nguyen examines three affective experiences—gratitude, resentment, and resilience—to reveal the actively lived dimensions of refuge. Through multifaceted analyses of literary and cultural productions, Nguyen argues that the meaning of refuge emerges from how displaced people negotiate the kinds of safety and protection that are offered to (and withheld from) them. In so doing, he lays the framework for an original and compelling understanding of contemporary refugee subjectivity.
