  • Diasporic Vietnamese Remembrance
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “The line between life and death in the high seas is very thin, almost invisible”: Diasporic Vietnamese Remembrance A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in Asian American Studies by Tiểu-Khê Lê 2015 © Copyright by Tiểu-Khê Lê 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS “The line between life and death in the high seas is very thin, almost invisible”: Diasporic Vietnamese Remembrance By Tiểu-Khê Lê Master of Arts in Asian American Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Thu-huong Nguyen-vo, Chair This project investigates the ways in which Vietnamese American modes of remembering support, unsettle, resist, refuse, and/or shape dominant western narratives that consolidate the Vietnam War, and the Vietnamese diaspora, into a single story of a masculine, militaristic, heteropatriarchial, and completed struggle between North and U.S.-backed South Vietnam. The first section explores how the design, construction, and everyday interactions with two Vietnam War monuments in Orange County, California’s Little Saigon intervenes in the two monuments’ attempts at consolidating western empire with Vietnamese bodily representation. The second section examines An-My Le’s photography series, Small Wars, which centers on how circulation of media footage and film shape western narrative of the Vietnam War. Queer readings, theories of heterotopic space, ethnography, landscape theory, and transhistoricism are some guiding frameworks to this thesis. ii The Thesis of Tieu-Khe Le is approved. Victor Bascara Kyungwon Hong Thu-huong Nguyen-vo, Committee Chair University of California, Los Angeles 2015 iii DEDICATION to anyone who has found themselves lost at sea.

  • Blue Water Navy Communications Toolkit
    BLUE WATER NAVY COMMUNICATIONS TOOLKIT The Blue Water Navy Communications Toolkit This Blue Water Navy Communications Toolkit supports the effort to raise awareness and understanding of Public Law 116-23: Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veteran Act of 2019 and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) updated policy for processing claims of Vietnam War Veterans, and their dependents and survivors, related to presumptive exposure to herbicides such as Agent Orange. Certain aspects of the VA Home Loan process were also affected by this legislation and are likewise explained within the enclosed resources. This toolkit is a guidebook to understanding the criteria for service connection based on VA’s revised policy. It outlines how Veterans, survivors and dependents can access potential benefits associated with military service. Veterans Affairs’ primary goal is to inform Veterans, their dependents, survivors, key internal and external stakeholders, and others by ensuring the proactive dissemination and delivery of educational materials about the change in VA policy. VA also wants to ensure effective com- munication with eligible Blue Water Navy Veterans and their family members regarding the revised process for submitting disability compensation claims related to herbicide exposure during their Vietnam War service. This Communications Toolkit consists of the following documents: Factsheet – A one-page overview. 101 Presentation – An in-depth explanation, with examples and detailed information. FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions Poster – A printable resource to raise awareness and provide a url address. Fraud Flyer – A printable resource to inform Veterans about avoiding scams.

  • Sources of Vietnam Veteran Pro- and Antiwar Political Attitudes1
    Sociological Forum, Vol. 29, No. 1, March 2014 DOI: 10.1111/socf.12071 Memories of War: Sources of Vietnam Veteran Pro- and Antiwar Political Attitudes1 David Flores2 The sources of political attitudes are among the most studied phenomena of modern politics. Moving away from the traditional focus on party systems, the demographic characteristics of voters, or political socialization, I consider instead how memory and narrative shape political consciousness. Specifically, I focus on how culturally sanctioned memories of warfare influence the political attitudes of 24 Vietnam veterans. I compare two groups of Vietnam veterans who went to Vietnam in support of the war and political status quo, but who returned with opposing attitudes toward war. How can we understand these contrasting outcomes? Specifically, how do memories of war shape political attitudes? Antiwar veterans relate similar narratives of having their idealistic views of war challenged and experiencing a major rethinking of their support when they learn the true nature of warfare. On the other hand, pro-war veter- ans share a patterned narrative of indifference rather than idealism when describing their continued sup- port of the war and political status quo after they return from Vietnam. I conclude by arguing that memory and narrative are an important mechanism for shaping political attitudes. KEY WORDS: cognition; memory; narrative; political attitudes; Vietnam veterans; war. INTRODUCTION: POLITICAL ATTITUDES The sources of political attitudes are among the most studied phenomena of modern politics. Sociologists and others studying political attitudes generally focus on three sources that shape political opinions: party alignments, sociode- mographic characteristics, and political socialization.
