However, it has had a profound effect on the Vietnamese people who left their homeland in the years following the fall of Saigon in 1975. Collected here are fifteen first-person narratives written by refugees who left Vietnam as children and later enrolled as students at the University of California, where they studied with the well-known scholar and teacher Sucheng Chan. She has provided a comprehensive introduction to their autobiographical accounts, which succinctly encompassAsian American history and culture.Vietnamese American one point five generationVietnamese AmericansBiographyRefugeesUnited StatesBiographyRefugeesVietnamBiographyVietnamHistory20th centuryElectronic books.Vietnamese AmericansRefugeesRefugees973/.04959200922BChan Sucheng879961MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450871103321The Vietnamese American 1.5 generation1972896UNINA
