Displacing Kinship, by Professor Linh Thủy Nguyễn, was reviewed in the April 2025 issue of Southeast Asian Studies. The review read, "Nguyễn makes a very compelling argument based on her reading of documents, sociological research, and refugee cultural productions to redirect how we think about the refugee family in relation to US racial and imperial projects." It also adds, "This book makes a necessary intervention in Critical Refugee Studies, reorienting the field toward future configurations of intimacies. It should be included in undergraduate and graduate curricula addressing refugees, empire, racialization, kinship, and feminist/queer studies."
