Cold War Refugees meticulously investigates and connects cases across East, Southeast, and South Asia. Offering a transnational and transimperial 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.

Industry Reviews

"The Cold War created refugees, and refugees reframed the Cold War through their transnational perspectives. This is an excellent collection of essays that will be very valuable for anyone interested in Cold War migration, especially in Asia." -Arne Westad, Professor of History, Yale University "A fine example of critical refugee studies, this groundbreaking volume retells Cold War histories in postcolonial Asia from the vantage point of refugees escaping Communist countries. In foregrounding refugees' own narratives, the authors reconceptualize Cold War refugees as complex historical actors who pursue multifaceted strategies and ideologies to navigate thechallenging circumstances of their displacement and resettlement. Highly recommended!" -Yen Le Espiritu, Distinguished Professor, University of California, San Diego
