This dissertation is a deep look at political spatialities of Hmong immigrants living in Bangkok, Thailand's urban setting. It asks whether Hmong immigrants have developed a distinct sense of territoriality and territories. The dissertation maps how Hmong groups of differing national origin-Hmong Thai, Hmong Lao, and Hmong Viet-find differing positions of precarity or stability in Thailand. Most Thai Hmong have citizenship, while Lao Hmong more rarely have become Thai citizens. A group of recent immigrants from both Laos and Vietnam have no citizenship. Although many Vietnamese Hmong have UNHCR protection status, some have been denied protection. The dissertation focuses on one group of Hmong immigrants living in Bangkok. Despite their precarious immigrant status, this group of mostly Christian Hmong Vietnamese immigrants have found a way to fit into the Thai territory and create a territorialization which allows them a degree of stability despite countervailing pressures. To Liisa Malkki's botanical metaphors, I add a third metaphor of refugee territoriality. This third metaphor is analogous to a beanpole. It represents a type of territoriality which neither seeks to reestablish a separatist ethnostate (following Malkki's arborescent metaphor) or hybridize into the spaces of their host country (following her rhizomatic metaphor). Instead, the territoriality of this community recognizes the temporal ephemerality of the territorialization like a beanpole that is staked into the ground by a gardener and can be removed later. This community tends to seek out, attract, and stabilize social relations in an analogous way that the bean pole attracts bean vines. Thus this community of Hmong refugees is able to establish a firmly planted set of social relations which allow this group to strive for goals of social justice for the time being. This process involves careful negotiation of relations with people inside and outside their ethnic and geographic community. Unlike many other Hmong immigrants who scatter and distrust one another, this group has gathered themselves through establishing affects of conviviality and trust. This affect mobilizes tactics to control community legibility to the government and ultimately establish an ongoing territorialization.
