This review of Graphic Refuge: Visuality and Mobility in Refugee Comics, co-written by Dominic Davies and Candida Rifkind, with a preface by Vinh Nguyen (2025), places the book in the wider political and social context of recent policies against immigrants and refugees in the United States and Europe, and in the broader context of scholarly work on memory studies, visual studies, and critical refugee studies. The author provides an overview of the main themes, critical concepts, and primary sources approached by Davies and Rifkind, and argues that the book successfully engages with previous scholarship to foster new perspectives on refugeetude.
