Nearly fifty years after the end of the war in Vietnam, American children of Vietnamese refugees continue to process the meanings of the war and its consequences through creative work. Analyzing social science studies, policy, and the art, film, music, and literature of Vietnamese Americans as cultural productions, Displacing Kinship examines how these representations of Vietnamese refugee families register not simply the lived experiences of war, but rather the day to day experiences of racism and marginalization.

With author Linh Thủy Nguyễn, Assistant Professor, American Ethnic Studies in conversation with Josen Masangkay Diaz & Gillian Harkins.
