I am grateful for the sabbatical support from the Provost’s Office at California State University, Los Angeles, to work on my book on Identities on Trial: Asylum Seekers from Asia and to complete this chapter; to the many asylum seekers who have shared their stories with me; to Joann Yeh and Alix Politanoff for reading an early draft of this chapter; to my family, friends, and colleagues who have supported me on this project; and to the anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments.
