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 encompass 410 0$aAsian American history and culture. 517 3 $aVietnamese American one point five generation 606 $aVietnamese Americans$vBiography 606 $aRefugees$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aRefugees$zVietnam$vBiography 607 $aVietnam$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aVietnamese Americans 615 0$aRefugees 615 0$aRefugees 676 $a973/.04959200922 676 $aB 701 $aChan$b Sucheng$0879961 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450871103321 996 $aThe Vietnamese American 1.5 generation$91972896 997 $aUNINA
