Mimi Thi Nguyen is Associate Professor of Gender and Women's Studies and Asian American Studies at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Published in September 2012, her book The Gift of Freedom: War, Debt, and Other Refugee Passages, focuses on the promise of “giving” freedom concurrent and contingent with waging war and its afterlife (Duke University Press, 2012). She is also co-editor with Fiona I.B. Ngo and Mariam Lam of a Summer 2012 special issue of positions on Southeast Asian American Studies (20:3, Winter 2012).
Nguyen has made zines since 1991, including Slander (formerly known by other titles) and the compilation zine Race Riot. She is a former Punk Planet columnist and Maximumrocknroll volunteer; she is also a frequent collaborator with Daniela Capistrano for the POC Zine Project. In June 2013, Sarah McCarry's Guillotine ("a series of erratically published chapbooks focused on revolutionary non-fiction") will release PUNK, a conversation between Nguyen and Golnar Nikpour. A special edition of PUNK is now available for pre-order to benefit the POC Zine Project/Race Riot Tour 2013.
This site is still being updated with academic works and zines.
