"This book will have a major impact in multiple fields with an intersectional and nuanced evaluation that brings together race, gender, nation, labor, and migration. Timely, productive, provocative, and incontrovertibly interdisciplinary, it will expand the current purview of Southeast Asian/American literary studies."--Cathy J. Schlund-Vials, author of War, Genocide, and Justice "Troubling Borders gathers an amazing number of powerful selections of literary writing and visual art. I am struck by how moving, how political, how diverse these selections are. They bear witness to the hauntings of empire and fill gaps in our understanding of the life and imagination of Southeast Asian women. I am awed by this collection."--Nguyen-vo Thu-huong, author of The Ironies of Freedom Zusammenfassung Showcases creative writing and visual artworks by sixty-one women of Vietnamese, Cambodian, Lao, Thai, and Filipino ancestry. This book features storytelling that troubles the borders of categorization and reflects the multilayered experience of Southeast Asian women.
