\"WP_20140509_03820140509100606<\/a><\/p>\n

Where are you from?<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m from beautiful Da Lat \u2013 the city of flower in Vietnam. I lived there for 18 years. Then, I moved to Sai Gon (Ho Chi Minh City) for two years before I moved to the U.S.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tell us something else about yourself.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m now a sophomore at Berea College in Kentucky. I haven\u2019t declared my major yet, but my intended major is Political Science. I\u2019m a member of the Berea Concert Choir and the Berea Speech and Debate Team. Singing and debate accounts for a big part of my free time. The remaining time I normally spend on volunteering, practicing piano, cooking, and reading books.<\/p>\n

I love volunteering. When I was in Sai Gon, I was a full-time volunteer for Friends For Street Children Association<\/a>, a non-government organization which seeks to help disadvantaged and street children in and around Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The experience gave me a lot of insights into life. Now, in Berea, KY, I still kept myself occupied with different volunteering opportunities such as the Food Drive, the Adopt-A-Grandparents program, etc.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you have a favorite Vietnamese or Vietnamese diasporic work of art? If so, tell us about it.<\/em><\/p>\n

I grew up reading near all books by Nguyen Nhat Anh. Some people may say like Harry Potter, they are not work of art. However, to be honest, I can\u2019t really change my answer just because others tell me it is not right. I love the humor, simplicity, but depth of Nguyen\u2019s stories. He always gives me a relaxing feeling of walking in a peaceful and beautiful countryside of Vietnam.<\/p>\n

If I am stressed to be deep, I would say another favorite book of mine is \u201cBen Thang Cuoc\u201d by Huy Duc. His work is still very debatable, but I would appreciate his initiative in writing about another aspect of Vietnam war.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Did someone refer you to subscribe to diacritics?<\/em><\/p>\n

My dear friend and sister, Lucy Nga Than refers me to subscribe diacritics.<\/p>\n

\"ghosts<\/a><\/p>\n

Tran chose\u00a0Heonik Kwon’s\u00a0Ghosts of War in Vietnam, <\/em>a fascinating study of the Vietnamese experience and memory of the Vietnam War. Heonik Kwon illuminates critical issues of war and collective memory in Vietnam by examining stories about spirits of the dead claiming social justice and about his own efforts to wrestle with the presence of ghosts.<\/p>\n

“Ghosts of War in Vietnam is anthropology at its best. It will without doubt become a classic text of anthropology, and I hope one that is crucial to international relations, religious studies, sociological theory, political science, cold war studies, and conflict, war, and peace studies.” -Alpa Shah, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute<\/span><\/p>\n

“Highly recommended” -Choice<\/span>

‘unique and revealing’. -New York Review of Books<\/span><\/p>\n
