Write a”Book Response Paper #2: Afterparties: Stories
Through the stories of Cambodian American subjects, refugees, and the children of refugees, Anthony Veasna So provides insight into experiences of subjectivity, racialization, sexuality, diaspora, migration, and the afterlives of war in his debut collection entitled Afterparties (2021).
Choosing at least one of the nine stories from the collection and drawing on at least one additional text from the course (this can be an assigned reading, optional reading, film, or lecture material), discuss what Afterparties tells us about the experiences of immigrant communities in the United States.
