The Vietnamese diaspora in Japan: Refugees and internationalisation

この本の冒頭に次の推薦文があります。

‘Nathalie Nguyen assembled an outstanding group of 20 international scholars for this impressive collection of essays on different aspects of Vietnamese diasporic experiences around the world. The essays show not only the complexities of Vietnamese diasporas but also how different these complexities are. They reveal a range of connections to Vietnam and to the countries where diasporic Vietnamese have settled. The images of losses, findings, adjustments and developments in the book challenge thought about a single Vietnamese diaspora.’
Professor Olga Dror, Texas A & M University

‘Essential reading for students of the Vietnamese diaspora, this volume reflects the multi-sided aspect of the subject, offering approaches that span history, anthropology, sociology as well as literary and cultural studies to form an account that is simultaneously wide-ranging and precise. It is also, perhaps more surprisingly, often movingly informed by personal emotion. Nathalie Nguyen’s editorial feat offers a model for a nuanced understanding of the complexities of diaspora, at times reading like a test case for wider issues such as compassion fatigue, forced repatriations, multi-generational memory and memorialisation.’
Professor Jennifer Yee, University of Oxford
