In addition to providing an in-depth analysis of Nguyen’s own work, this book explores a variety of themes, including the culture of institutional research and the associated politics of research ethics; translation, migration, Australian settler-colonialism, and Indigenous land acknowledgements; the intergenerational experiences of the postwar Vietnamese diaspora; and the influence of Vietnamese feminist poetry, notably that of the artist’s mother, Nguyen Thi Kim Dung. The book also includes a foreword by Bundjalung, Kamilaroi, and MuruWarri artist and educator, Professor Brian Martin.
