Vietnamese Identity, Nationality & Ethnicity
A great blog post on “charvey in Vietnam” regarding the contrasts of “ethnic nationality” vs “ideological nationality” in comparing Vietnam/Vietnamese and USA/American. As a Vietnamese American, I can understand the difficulty with which my peers face of “not being Vietnamese enough” and “being too Vietnamese”. I think I’ll write a more extensive exploration of this topic later on. Also another good additional reading on the topic is C.N. Le’s “Assimilation & Ethnic Identity” on his Asian Nation website.
