Focusing on the politics of war memory and commemoration, this book retheorizes the connections among history, memory, and power and refashions the fields of American studies, Asian American studies, and refugee studies not around the narratives of American exceptionalism, immigration, and transnationalism but around the crucial issues of war, race, and violence-and the history and memories that are forged in the aftermath of war. At the same time, the book moves decisively away from the "damage-centered" approach that pathologizes loss and trauma by detailing how first- and second-generation Vietnamese have created alternative memories and epistemologies that challenge the established public narratives of the Vietnam War and Vietnamese people. Explicitly interdisciplinary, Body Counts moves between the humanities and social sciences, drawing on historical, ethnographic, cultural, and virtual evidence in order to illuminate the places where Vietnamese refugees have managed to conjure up social, public, and collective remembering. 606 $aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xRefugees 606 $aRefugees$zVietnam 606 $aRefugees$zUnited States 606 $aVietnamese Americans 606 $aCollective memory$zUnited States 606 $aMilitarism$zUnited States 610 $a20th century american history. 610 $a20th century global history. 610 $aalternative memories. 610 $aamerican exceptionalism. 610 $aamerican imperialism. 610 $aamerican studies. 610 $aasian american studies. 610 $acollective remembering. 610 $acommemoration. 610 $adamage centered approach. 610 $aimmigration. 610 $aimperialism. 610 $ainterdisciplinary. 610 $ainternational politics. 610 $aloss and trauma. 610 $apolitics of memory. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apower and memory. 610 $arefugee studies. 610 $arefugees. 610 $aretrospective. 610 $atransnationalism. 610 $avietnam war. 610 $avietnam. 610 $avietnamese american. 610 $avietnamese refugees. 610 $avietnamese. 610 $aviolence. 610 $awar memory. 615 0$aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xRefugees. 615 0$aRefugees 615 0$aRefugees 615 0$aVietnamese Americans. 615 0$aCollective memory 615 0$aMilitarism 676 $a959.704/31 700 $aEspiritu$b Yen Le$f1963-$01556318 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786652003321 996 $aBody counts$93818888 997 $aUNINA
