  • Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia
    Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia Geographically, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam are situated in the fastest growing region in the world, positioned alongside the dynamic economies of neighboring China and Thailand. Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia compares the postwar political economies of these three countries in the context of their individual and collective impact on recent efforts at regional integration. Based on research carried out over three decades, Ronald Bruce St John highlights the different paths to reform taken by these countries and the effect this has had on regional plans for economic development. Through its comparative analysis of the reforms implemented by Cam- bodia, Laos and Vietnam over the last 30 years, the book draws attention to parallel themes of continuity and change. St John discusses how these countries have demonstrated related characteristics whilst at the same time making different modifications in order to exploit the strengths of their individual cultures. The book contributes to the contemporary debate over the role of democratic reform in promoting economic devel- opment and provides academics with a unique insight into the political economies of three countries at the heart of Southeast Asia. Ronald Bruce St John earned a Ph.D. in International Relations at the University of Denver before serving as a military intelligence officer in Vietnam. He is now an independent scholar and has published more than 300 books, articles and reviews with a focus on Southeast Asia,

  • 1 GENERAL VANG PAO: a Review of Reputable Sources [15 May 2007]
    1 GENERAL VANG PAO: A Review of Reputable Sources [15 May 2007] by Alfred W. McCoy, Professor of Southeast Asian History, UW Madison In assessing the merits of the Madison School Board’s decision to name a school General Vang Pao, there are four factors that might give one pause--allegations that Vang Pao ordered summary executions, press reports that his army conscripted boy soldiers as young as 10 years old for combat, reports that his army’s command was involved in the Laos opium traffic, and press reports of financial fraud in Hmong-American welfare associations affiliated with him. In aftermath of the Vietnam War, books by authors ranging from the staunchly pro-Vang Pao Jane Hamilton-Merritt to Christian missionary William Smalley and commercial author Christopher Robbins have been unanimous in reporting that Vang Pao ordered extra-judicial executions of enemy prisoners, his own Hmong soldiers, and Hmong political opponents. All base these allegations, which have been repeated in recent press reports, on interviews with eyewitnesses, which include CIA operatives, American pilots for the CIA-owned Air America, and Hmong whose communities supported the CIA’s Secret Army. In the latter stages of the Vietnam War, 1971-73, General Vang Pao’s CIA army reportedly recruited children from ages 10 to 14 years-old to serve as boy soldiers in brutal combat with extraordinarily high casualties. Moreover, there are several sources, citing first-hand accounts from former CIA officials, alleging that the Secret Army’s command was involved in the Laos’s opium traffic, particularly in the transport of opium out of Hmong villages on the CIA’s airline Air America.

  • Accounts of the Enemy in US, Hmong, and Vietnamese Soldiers’ Literary Reflections on the War
    humanities Article How Can You Not Shout, Now That the Whispering Is Done? Accounts of the Enemy in US, Hmong, and Vietnamese Soldiers’ Literary Reflections on the War David Beard Department of English, Linguistics, and Writing Studies, University of Minnesota Duluth, Duluth, MN 55812, USA; [email protected] Received: 21 June 2019; Accepted: 22 October 2019; Published: 1 November 2019 Abstract: As typified in the Christmas Truce, soldiers commiserate as they see themselves in the enemy and experience empathy. Commiseration is the first step in breaking down the rhetorical construction of enemyship that acts upon soldiers and which prevents reconciliation and healing. This essay proceeds in three steps. We will identify first the diverse forms of enemyship held by the American, by the North Vietnamese, and by the Hmong soldiers, reading political discourse, poetry, and fiction to uncover the rhetorical constructions of the enemy. We will talk about both an American account and a North Vietnamese account of commiseration, when a soldier looks at the enemy with compassion rooted in identification. Commiseration is fleeting; reconciliation and healing must follow, and so finally, we will look at some of the moments of reconciliation, after the war, in which Vietnamese, Hmong and American soldiers (and their children and grandchildren) find healing. Keywords: enemyship; rhetoric; reconciliation; commiseration; Vietnam/Vietnamese; Hmong; war The critical reflections at the core of this essay begin with a conversation between a student and I, after my course (in multigenre writing through the Vietnam War) was over and the student had graduated, stopping just to say “hi”. The student enjoyed the class, they said, but they wanted to encourage me to talk about “the other side” of the war.

He was a great “old” man and quite a character, and remembered the times in Texas before automobiles. He lived with us in his old age, and I shared a room with him, and my parents JL and Juanita Pierce took care of him till he died. The second person I want to dedicate this book to is my mother Juanita Faus Pierce. She passed away in August 1995 of cancer. She inspired me to write. She was a history nut and devoted a lot of time to hosting family reunions, and keeping track of her large family.
