reading response to Creating Identity, Defining Culture, and Making History from an Art Exhibit: 'Unfinished Story: A Tribute to My Mothers'
It has been roughly 40 years since the Vietnam War, yet its consequences still echo in the generations of people whose lives were changed by this war, and it will continue to echo into future generations from even today. One of my most important reaction to this article is that: wow, this is the first time I have ever read, and felt someone bring up the topic of the cultural struggles as well as the identity struggle that people who are connected to the war face. The struggles that I face, the struggles that other people face. The war is our legacy and we may not see the struggles due to this legacy, but that in itself is a struggle. We will go through struggles just like how Chau Huynh went through with discovering the tragedies that were a part of her husband's family. I love that part of the article, the part that shows that despite the tragedies and the pain, the anger, she was able to love someone who would have been considered her enemy in the past.
Question: What does your race and ethnicity mean to you and how does it shape you and the world that is you?
