Captures the issues that faced and still face Amerasians
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This well-written book does a good job of accurately capturing the plight of the Amerasians from Vietnam. Great descriptions of characters in Utica, NY and how they changed and/or stayed the same since their time in Amerasian Park in Saigon. Having visited Amerasian Park, I thought of the book and the many other Amerasians that are still in other parts of Vietnam and have been trying to leave.Vietnamerica shows the challenges the Vietnamericans face, what they think and feel, and the way in which many of them have to deal with not finding their fathers even though they made it back to the U.S.A. Thought-provoking and informative.
