Return Engagements is a provocative and compelling work of curatorially driven art criticism. -- Cathy Schlund-Vials, author of * War, Genocide, and Justice: Cambodian American Memory Work * Viet Le writes with flair and passion of difficult subjects: war, trauma, the art and visual culture of the Vietnamese and Cambodian diasporas. With a critic's nuanced eye and a practitioner's sensitivity, his framings and readings of provocative, complicated work evoke the beauty of the artists' visions and yet always return us to the history and the present of the artists' lives, careers, and countries. Return Engagements is a brilliant work to which I will return. -- Viet Thanh Nguyen, author of * The Sympathizer * Author InformationViệt Lê is Associate Professor of Visual Studies at the California College of the Arts and coauthor of White Gaze.
