This course introduces students to the vibrant ethnic/immigrant/refugee community of Vietnamese Americans in all its complexities. The class begins with exploration of contemporary intellectual and political debates within Vietnamese American studies and on Vietnamese American identity(ies). The course will provide students with a history of the Vietnam War, discuss Vietnamese refugee migration to the United States, and explore how these refugees formed their communities in America. Situating Vietnamese American within a history of war and migration, the course will guide students in the examination of important and complex contemporary issues germane to the community, including anticommunism, refugeeism, transnational activism, and the politics of memory. Students will be appraised of the literature on forced migration, diaspora, memory, oral history, and community politics. The course aims to provide students with knowledge of and familiarity with the history and politics of Vietnamese America.]]> 1- Vietnamese boat people is one of the biggest events not only in the current world history but also in the Vietnamese 4000-year history.

Many children and grandchildren will wonder about their Asian looks, and wonder how they got where they are.

I see many stories in Facebook, in blogs, and elsewhere on the web. If our descendants have time, they can search out those stories.

As you know, we lead busy lives. There is little free time, and children often have their own priorities. I wanted to use the internet to connect all of us scattered around the world through one web site. Anyone interested in this aspect of our heritage can read about it here.

The children must not forget who we are, where we came from, how we got here. How the suffering and sacrifices of the 1st generation gave birth to the freedom and opportunities they enjoy and take for granted.

They deserve to be proud of their heritage and their families, and understand the true cost of their privileges and freedom. They must also never forget how lucky they are compared to the many people who died on the desperate journey to freedom."]]> Read my story at VT268
