The Viet Nam War/The American War: Images and Representations in Euro-American and Vietnamese Exile Narratives
This book seeks to reformulate the cannon of writings on what is called "the Viet Nam War" in America and "the American War" in Viet Nam. Until recently, the accepted cannon has consisted almost exclusively of American white male combat narratives, which often reflect and perpetuate stereotypes of Asians. This book introduces material that displays a bicultural perspective, including works by Vietnamese exile writers and by lesser-known Euro-Americans who attempt to bridge the cultural gap.
