America's suburbs are more diverse and more unequal than ever before. Focusing on Southern California's Little Saigon, a global suburb and the capital of "Vietnamese America," Jennifer Huynh shows how refugees and their children are enacting placemaking against forces of displacement such as financialized capital, exclusionary zoning, and the criminalization of migrants. This book raises crucial questions challenging suburban inequality and complicates our understanding of refugee resettlement—and, more broadly, the American dream.

Jennifer Huynh is a sociologist and Assistant Professor of American Studies at the University of Notre Dame. She is second-generation Vietnamese from Southern California.
