About this product
Product Information
This book seeks to reformulate the canon of writings on what is called "the Viet Nam War" in America and "the American War" in Viet Nam. Until recently, the accepted canon has consisted almost exclusively of American white male combat narratives, which often reflect and perpetuate Asian stereotypes. Renny Christopher 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.Christopher traces the history of American stereotyping of Asians and shows how Euro-American ethnocentricity has limited most American authors' ability to represent fairly the Vietnamese in their stories. By giving us access to Vietnamese representations of the war, she creates a context for understanding the way the war was experienced from the "other" side, and she offers perceptive, well-documented analyses of how and why Americans have so emphatically excised the Vietnamese from narratives about a war fought in their own country.

"Provides a vital corrective to the misrepresentations of the war that have plagued us for so long and allowed us to construct Viet Nam as the exclusive tragedy of the United States. I learned a great deal from her book, which I will use in my own writing and teaching."--Lynne Hanley, author of Writing War: Fiction, Gender, and Memory"As far as I know, there has been no study like this one, which spans a broad range of Vietnamese and Euro-American works in a comparative context. Christopher's socioliterary exploration of the ways Asians have been imaged in the discourse of several wars and significant social events is brilliant."--Vince Gotera, author of Radical Visions: Poetry by Vietnam Veterans, As far as I know, there has been no study like this one, which spans a broad range of Vietnamese and Euro-American works in a comparative context.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
