{"product_id":"history-on-the-run-ma-vang-9781478010272","title":"History on the Run: Secrecy, Fugitivity, and Hmong Refugee Epistemologies","description":"During its secret war in Laos (1961-1975), the United States recruited proxy soldiers among the Hmong people. Following the war, many of these Hmong soldiers migrated to the United States with refugee status. In \u003ci\u003eHistory on the Run\u003c\/i\u003e Ma Vang examines the experiences of Hmong refugees in the United States to theorize refugee histories and secrecy, in particular those of the Hmong. Vang conceptualizes these histories as fugitive histories, as they move and are carried by people who move. Charting the incomplete archives of the war made secret through redacted US state documents, ethnography, film, and literature, Vang shows how Hmong refugees tell their stories in ways that exist separately from narratives of U.S. empire and that cannot be traditionally archived. In so doing, Vang outlines a methodology for writing histories that foreground refugee epistemologies despite systematic attempts to silence those histories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ma Vang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478010274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478010272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2021","brand":"Ma Vang","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43982865367295,"sku":"9781478010272","price":102.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3b921a05-ffac-448c-bba8-182cc97de37d.jpg?v=1683263423","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/history-on-the-run-ma-vang-9781478010272","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
