allowed her to make a profound statement through her work. She was an immigrant
wife and came from a communist background. When she lived in the United States
many things began to go through her head, including the most important
reflection on how her Vietnamese culture distinguishes itself. I believe that
when someone experiences a different culture than that which they grew up there
is a realization of what your own culture relies on. It is the reference and
comparison that allows someone to understand how communities behave. One
interesting conclusion she drew was that Vietnamese live in a fear that has
become normalized. This only happens because they cannot reference different
cultures and, ultimately, they are blinded by their structure.
Q: Do the Vietnamese immigrant wives in the U.S. nowadays still live in fear nowadays?
