Abstract

In 'History on the Run: Secrecy, Fugitivity, and Hmong Refugee Epistemologies,' Ma Vang deftly answers the question of how one can "recount a history that has systematically been kept secret" by centering Hmong refugees as sources of knowledge and critique (7). Her book scrutinizes the refugee archive to draw out stories that have been secreted away in other places: in a missing baggage claim, in the neutralization of Laos, in redacted documents, in the figure of the uncivilized Hmong soldier, in the naming of a war as "secret," in the silenced bodies of Hmong women. Her central concept of "history on the run" refers to a form of fugitive knowledge that "does not remain still and cannot easily be found" (8). Vang's book makes explicit the forms of knowledge that travel with and within refugee bodies, rather than the "official" history of the archive.

《逃亡史回顾:秘密、逃亡和苗族难民认识论》,作者:马旺(杜克大学出版社)
在《逃亡的历史:秘密、逃亡和苗族难民认识论》一书中,马杨巧妙地回答了一个问题,即如何通过将苗族难民作为知识和批判的来源来“叙述一段系统地保密的历史”(7)。她的书仔细审查了难民档案,以找出在其他地方被秘密隐藏的故事:遗失行李的认领,老挝的中立化,经过编辑的文件,未开化的苗族士兵的形象,将一场战争命名为“秘密”,以及苗族妇女沉默的尸体。她的核心概念“逃亡的历史”指的是一种“不会静止不动,也不容易被找到”的逃亡知识形式(8)。她的书明确指出了与难民身体一起旅行和在难民体内旅行的知识形式,而不是档案的“官方”历史。
