{"product_id":"cold-war-refugees-yumi-moon-9781503642638","title":"Cold War Refugees: Connected Histories of Displacement and Migration Across Postcolonial Asia","description":"\u003cp\u003eScenes of refugees fleeing Communist countries have created iconic images of the Cold War in Asia. Despite their symbolic prominence, the experiences and trajectories of these refugees have remained relatively obscure in Cold War history and global refugee studies. Featuring contributions from Phi-V?n Nguyen, Dominic Meng-Hsuan Yang, Yumi Moon, Ijlal Muzaffar, Robert D. Crews, Sabauon Nasseri, and Aishwary Kumar, \u003ci\u003eCold War Refugees\u003c\/i\u003e meticulously investigates and connects cases across East, Southeast, and South Asia. Offering a transnational and trans-imperial perspective, this book illuminates the massive mobility of refugee populations across Asia and emphasizes the critical roles of artificial borders, displacement, and violence in shaping the global Cold War.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing from multi-lingual archival sources, the authors explore the local, regional, and global contexts of displacement through five cases: Taiwan, Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. They examine the agendas, identities, and cultures of the refugees who left their homes due to revolutions or wars amid the conflict between the US and the USSR, presenting them as historical actors rather than mere subjects of legal, governmental, or humanitarian discourse. By revisiting key Cold War events in Asia, the book provides a critical revision of Cold War history through the lens of refugee experiences and agency. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yumi Moon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503642631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503642638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Yumi Moon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46383834890495,"sku":"9781503642638","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_703ecf19-cb43-42a6-9c24-2a0b4e708932.jpg?v=1733281821","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cold-war-refugees-yumi-moon-9781503642638","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
