Vietnamese diasporic relations affect-and are directly affected by-events in Viet Nam. In Transnationalizing Viet Nam, Kieu-Linh Caroline Valverde explores these connections, providing a nuanced understanding of this globalized community. Valverde draws on 250 interviews and almost two decades of research to show the complex relationship between Vietnamese in the diaspora and those back at the homeland. Arguing that Vietnamese immigrant lives are inherently transnational, she shows how their acts form virtual communities via the Internet, organize social movements, exchange music and create art

"Published through the Recovering Languages and Literacies of the Americas initiative, supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The rich storytelling traditions of the Ashéninka Perené Arawaks of eastern Peru are showcased in this bilingual collection of traditional narratives, ethnographic accounts, women's autobiographical stories, songs, chants, and ritual speeches. The Ashéninkas are located in the colonization frontier at the foot of the eastern Andes and the western fringe of the Amazonian jungle. Unfortunately, their language has a slim chance of surviving because only about three hundred fluent speakers remain. This volume collects and preserves the power and vitality of Ashéninka oral and linguistic traditions, as told by thirty members of the Native community. Upper Perene Arawak Narratives of History, Landscape, and Ritual covers a range of themes in the Ashéninka oral tradition, through genres such as myths, folk tales, autobiographical accounts, and ethnographic texts about customs and rituals, as well as songs, chants, and oratory. Transcribed and translated by a specialist in Ashéninka language varieties, Elena Mihas, and grounded in the actual performances of Asheninka speakers, this collection makes these stories available in English for the first time. Each original text in Ashéninka is accompanied by an English translation and each theme is introduced with an essay providing biographical, cultural, and linguistic information. The result is a masterful, authoritative, yet entertaining and provocative collection of oral literature that vividly testifies to the power of Ashéninka storytelling"--
Dien Bien Phu is a great historic event, not only of great significance for Vietnam but also for the peoples of the world in the struggle against colonialism for national independence. Besides, the Dien Bien Phu victory also affected the policies of some world powers including the United States. The U.S. policy from Dien Bien Phu to block the formation of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) show consistency in the global strategy against communism in Vietnam and the Southeast Asia in general. The failure together with the French at Dien Bien Phu urged America to do another plan implemented to form a common block of collective defense with the allies of the United States, against the risk of spreading communism in the region. ; Điện Biên Phủ là sự kiện lịch sử trọng đại, không những có ý nghĩa to lớn đối với Việt Nam mà còn tác động không nhỏ tới nhân dân thế giới trong cuộc đấu tranh chống chủ nghĩa thực dân giành độc lập dân tộc. Bên cạnh đó, Điện Biên Phủ còn là chiến thắng ảnh hưởng đến chính sách của một số cường quốc trên thế giới trong đó có Mỹ. Chính sách của Mỹ từ Điện Biên Phủ tới hình thành khối hiệp ước phòng thủ chung Đông Nam Á (SEATO) thể hiện sự nhất quán trong chiến lược toàn cấu chống chủ nghĩa cộng sản của Mỹ tại Việt Nam nói riêng và Đông Nam Á nói chung. Thất bại cùng với Pháp ở Điện Biên Phủ đã dẫn đến kế hoạch khác mà Mỹ thực hiện là hình thành một khối phòng thủ tập thể chung của các nước đồng minh với Mỹ, chống lại nguy cơ lan rộng của chủ nghĩa cộng sản trong khu vực.
