My Vietnam, Your Vietnam: A Conversation with authors Christina Vo and Nghia M. Vo

My Vietnam, Your Vietnam: A Conversation with authors Christina Vo and Nghia M. Vo

My Vietnam, Your Vietnam: A Dual Memoir Book Launch and Discussion with authors Christina Vo and Nghia M. Vo, conversation moderated by Terry Ngo. My Vietnam, Your Vietnam chronicles the divergent journeys of a Vietnamese father, who fled war on a small boat to find refuge in the United States, and his American-born daughter, who ventures to Vietnam as an adult, capturing the stark contrast between their perspectives on their shared homeland. In this dual memoir, Christina Vo and her father, Nghia M. Vo, delve into themes of identity and heritage, with intertwined stories that present a multifaceted portrayal of Vietnam and its profound influence on shaping both familial bonds and individual identities across time. Captivating in its fluid movement and evocative depictions of place, My Vietnam, Your Vietnam offers readers a rich, multilayered exploration of Vietnam through two very distinct voices and perspectives. The memoir aims to deepen readers' understanding and appreciation of Vietnam and its culture by showcasing these two contrasting viewpoints.

“Inherently fascinating, exceptionally thoughtful and thought-provoking, impressively well written, organized and presented, "My Vietnam, Your Vietnam" is an informed and informative read from start to finish and a brilliant, unreservedly recommended pick.” —Midwest Review of Books
