Examining literature from as early as the 1820s, Marguerite Nguyen takes a comparative, long historical approach to interpreting constructions of Vietnam in American literature. She analyzes works in various genres published in English and Vietnamese by Monique Truong and Michael Herr as well as lesser-known writers such as John White, Harry Hervey, and V Phi?n. The book's cross-cultural prism spans Paris, Saigon, New York, and multiple oceans, and its departure from Cold War frames reveals rich cross-period connections. America's Vietnam recounts a mostly unexamined story of Southeast Asia's lasting and varied influence on U.S. aesthetic and political concerns. Tracking Vietnam's transition from an emergent nation in the nineteenth century to a French colony to a Vietnamese-American war zone, Nguyen demonstrates that how authors represent Vietnam is deeply entwined with the United States' shifting role in the world. As America's longstanding presence in Vietnam evolves, the literature it generates significantly revises our perceptions of war, race, and empire over time"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "Examining works written in English and Vietnamese, this book maps a transnational, longue dureeÌ model for understanding the history of Vietnamese-American encounters and demonstrates how genre significantly shapes our perceptions of war, race, and empire"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 611 27 $a Vietnam War (1961-1975) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01431664 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Popular culture $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Influence. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Literature and the war. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Mass media and the war. 650 0 $a War and society. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Nguyen, Marguerite Bich, 1976- $t America's Vietnam. $d Philadelphia, Pennsylvania : Temple University Press, 2018 $z 9781439916131 830 0 $a Asian American history and culture. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180802014651.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=94FC4922961911E8A89F3E0097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
