On the eve of the 40th anniversary of the end of the Viet Nam War, which resulted in the largest exodus of Vietnamese people leaving their country in its history, there has been stealth attempts by power holders in the U.S. and Vietnam to rewrite the war’s history. Dr. Kieu Linh Caroline Valverde (Associate Professor of Asian American Studies at University of California Davis) critically examines the motivations behind such endeavors and what this new narrative of the war looks like, while offering alternative models for understanding the legacy of this time period.
