Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the popular media have described Vietnamese Americans as the quintessential American immigrant success story, attributing their accomplishments to the values they learn in the traditional, stable, hierarchical confines of their family. Questioning the accuracy of such family portrayals, Nazli Kibria draws on in-depth interviews and participant observation with Vietnamese immigrants in Philadelphia to show how they construct their family lives in response to the social and economic challenges posed by migration and resettlement. To a surprising extent, the "traditional" family unit rarely exists, and its hierarchical organization has been greatly altered.

Download or read book The Impacts of Acculturation on Vietnamese Women in the United States written by Dianna Hoang and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, society has presented women as secondary to men. As the times change so have the roles of men and women. Vietnamese American women bear the struggle of living two worlds, but in one location, America. Before Vietnamese refugees and immigrants entered the United States, they only knew their own traditional culture. Upon arrival in their new country they had to assimilate to the modern culture of America. Every day they are reminded of their constant struggle of identification, what makes them Vietnamese or American? For the purpose of this exploratory study, 30 Vietnamese women voluntarily participated in the survey. This self-composed survey aimed to explore topics of acculturation such as language, communication, and culture, perspective on family and women's roles, as well as education. From the findings of this study, one could state that these women still encourage their traditional culture, but realize that they must also adapt to American culture as well. Vietnamese women are no longer remaining in the home as housewives, but are inspired to attain an education and work outside of the home. They must learn to adjust in order to maintain both cultures, holding on to the importance of family, but becoming more independent.
Download or read book Vietnamese Americans written by Darrel Montero and published by Westview Press. This book was released on 1979-08-23 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents and analyses the migration of Indochinese refugees to the United States. And, employing data from a national sample, it reports on the changing socio-economic status of the Vietnamese refugees. The author, director of the Urban Ethnic Research Program at Arizona State University, focuses on the patterns of the refugees' socio-economic adaptation and resettlement. In order to do that, the book begins with a chapter devoted to a brief history of Viet Nam, the nation and its people, beginning from pre-history up to 1975. In Chapter Three, there is a discussion of the arrival of the Vietnamese refugees in the United States. A demographic profile of the refugees is included to identify the characteristics of those who felt compelled to leave their native land and start life anew. A look at the refugee camps, voluntary agencies, and sponsors provides one basis for assessing the refugees' adaptation to American life. In Chapter IV, Professor Montero analyses the results of five sample surveys concerning changing socio-economic status over a two-year period based upon a population of some 35,000 refugees. Chapter V has a socio-historical model of the Vietnamese migration experience which attempts to predict the prospects for future socio-economic adaptation and cultural assimilation of the Vietnamese. The last chapter summarizes the general findings and discusses the continuing influx of refugees from Indo-China as well as the status of research on the Vietnamese. Extensive tables in the appendices provide socio-economic data on the refugee population.

Download or read book Farm to Freedom written by Roy Vu and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-02 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Home gardens, in addition to providing sustenance and satisfaction, embody a sense of self identity. In this groundbreaking work on Vietnamese foodways, Farm-to-Freedom: Vietnamese Americans and Their Food Gardens brings to light how the Vietnamese diasporic population in Texas uses gardens literally and figuratively to set down roots in a new country. These gardens, often hidden in plain sight, establish the seat of Vietnamese immigrant culture, according to author Roy Vũ. They can also offer Vietnamese Americans an empowering pathway to forging a new homeland duality by retaining ties to the foods and environs they drew comfort from in Vietnam. Farm-to-Freedom uses the concept of emancipatory foodways as a lens into gardens that serve a semi-palliative purpose by succoring the experienced tragedies of war and exile for Vietnamese immigrants and Vietnamese Americans, which arguably adds another dimension to the importance of the home garden. Vũ covers topics including but not limited to culinary citizenship, food democracy, culinary justice, and food sovereignty. Farm-to-Freedom reveals how these gardens not only provide those who tend them a greater sense of security and agency in an unfamiliar land but also give them the means to preserve and expand Vietnamese cuisine for themselves while simultaneously enriching food culture in the United States. With a wealth of original oral histories, community-based recipes and poetry, and photographs of home gardens in suburban and urban settings, Farm-to-Freedom provides a deeper understanding of the Vietnamese diaspora in Texas for scholars, professionals, and general readers alike.
Download or read book Other Moons written by and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this anthology, Vietnamese writers describe their experience of what they call the American War and its lasting legacy through the lens of their own vital artistic visions. A North Vietnamese soldier forms a bond with an abandoned puppy. Cousins find their lives upended by the revelation that their fathers fought on opposite sides of the war. Two lonely veterans in Hanoi meet years after the war has ended through a newspaper dating service. A psychic assists the search for the body of a long-vanished soldier. The father of a girl suffering from dioxin poisoning struggles with corrupt local officials. The twenty short stories collected in Other Moons range from the intensely personal to narratives that deal with larger questions of remembrance, trauma, and healing. By a diverse set of authors, including many veterans, they span styles from social realism to tales of the fantastic. Yet whether describing the effects of Agent Orange exposure or telling ghost stories, all speak to the unresolved legacy of a conflict that still haunts Vietnam. Among the most widely anthologized and popular pieces of short fiction about the war in Vietnam, these works appear here for the first time in English. Other Moons offers Anglophone audiences an unparalleled opportunity to experience how the Vietnamese think and write about the conflict that consumed their country from 1954 to 1975—a perspective still largely missing from American narratives.
