According to Valverde's article about Chau Huynh, an artist who wants to show her Vietnamese - Americans a culture that would not be forgotten. Not only did we lose Vietnam to the communist, many people had to leave the war-torn country in fear of being hunted by the communist party. By being raised by a communist dad, she was not able to see the other side of the story like the refugees that had to escape by boat also known as the boat people and many did not make it. The Communist Party solely erased and brainwashed the memories of the country to show oppression and raise political powers over the people also known as hegemony. Through memory amnesia, and after 30 years that has passed, the country has rebuild and many people had already forgotten the past that was the purpose of the political parties.


Q: Why was Chau clueless about the boat people and refugees that had to leave the country?
