The Migrant Rain Falls in Reverse: A Memory of Vietnam, by Vinh Nguyen, Penguin Random House, 2025.
With the fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975, the U.S. war in Vietnam ended, but the refugee crisis was only beginning. Among the millions of people who fled Vietnam by boat were Vinh Nguyen, along with his mother and siblings, and his father, who left separately and then mysteriously vanished.
Decades later, Nguyen goes looking for the story of his father. What he discovers is a sea of questions drifting above sunken truths. To come to terms with the past, Nguyen must piece together the debris of history with family stories that have been scattered across generations and continents, kept for decades in broken hearts and guarded silences.
The Migrant Rain Falls in Reverse takes readers on a poignant tour of disappeared refugee camps, abandoned family homes, and the lives that could have been. As the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War approaches, this powerful memoir is timelier and more important than ever, illuminating the stories, real and imagined, that become buried in the rubble of war.
China and Global Economic Governance, Volume I: China’s BRI & AIIB and Global Economic Governance, edited by Kevin G. Cai, Yitan Li, Sujian Guo, Palgrave MacMillan, 2025.
A novel, pressing, and challenging issue has emerged in international political economy in recent decades following the rapid rise of Chinese economic power, that is, how to accommodate China as a new economic superpower within the existing structure of global economic governance. This has become not only a highly contentious geopolitical and geoeconomic issue that is complicating already complex relations between major powers, particularly between China and the USA but also a heated issue of scholarly debate in the academia. It is within this context that the editors have decided to collect some relevant articles on this topic that have been published in some of Springer Nature’s journals in recent years and turn them into two edited volumes under the title of China and Global Economic Governance.
Volume I explores how China’s two initiatives of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) have been bringing implications on geopolitics and geoeconomics in general and on global economic governance in particular.
China and Global Economic Governance, Volume II: China’s Engagement with BRICS, SCO & G20 and Global Economic Governance, edited by Kevin G. Cai, Yitan Li, Sujian Guo, Palgrave MacMillan, 2025.

Volume II examines how China’s active engagement in the BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), and the Group of 20 (G20) has helped shape the development of these groupings and impacted not only geopolitics and geoeconomics at both regional and global levels but also global economic governance
