- Abstract
As a result, the debt-relation via US settler militarism becomes legible as a social relation and narrative form negotiated through cultural production that attend to the intertwined process of US settler colonial dispossession of land on the continental United States; this is connected to land seizures of military empire through legally liminal and juridically ambiguous spaces like "bases, camps, and territories constituting the US military imperium and settler garrison" (21). Using archival research and oral interviews conducted between 2015 and 2016, Gandhi strikingly exposes how Israel prime minister Menachem Begin's purported empathy for Vietnamese refugees was not only limited by racial and class selection of eligible refugees but also reveals the intimate structural relations between resettlement of Vietnamese refugees with the displacement of Palestinian refugees (104). Identifying Guam and Israel-Palestine as relational archipelagic spaces, I Archipelago of Resettlement i illuminates the fluid and dynamic manifestations of refugee settlers forced to eke out belonging in sites of ongoing settler colonial violence. Theorizing a reading practice of settler imperial failure, Kim persuasively reads a prolific set of cultural texts from documentary films, experimental films, novels, short stories, and poetry to demonstrate how the aesthetics of "settler imperial failure that gestures to world-making and relations beyond the violence of US militarist settler imperialism" (13).
