Làm Chó Bò / Making Trouble
As well as offering exegetical analysis of Nguyen's own work, this title examines a range of themes including institutional research culture and the politics of research ethics therein; the act of translation, migration, Australian settler-colonialism, and Indigenous land acknowledgements; cross-generational experiences of postwar Vietnamese diaspora; and the legacies of Vietnamese feminist poetry, including poetry by the artist's mother herself, Nguyen Thi Kim Dung.
The book features a foreword by Bundjalung, Kamilaroi, and MuruWarri artist and educator, Professor Brian Martin.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
