CAB (Anthology)
“Cabramatta” is an autobiographical interactive and print comic about growing up in a community of Vietnam War refugees resettled in Australia’s heroin capital.
CAB, 2007
CAB is a graphic novel collection of short autobiographical comics drawn from the experiences of a dozen ordinary residents and visitors to the suburban South-Western Sydney migrant community, Cabramatta. Cabramatta's migrant hostel attracted a generation of migrants after the Vietnam War, creating Australia's largest non-Anglo-Celtic commercial district.
‘ABC Supermarket’ and ‘A New Challenger’ appears in Alice Pung’s anthology, 'Growing Up Asian in Australia' (2008) where it is studied as an assigned curriculum text for the Victorian Certificate of Education.
