"""Nathalie Nguyen assembled an outstanding group of 20 international scholars for this impressive collection of essays on different aspects of Vietnamese diasporic experiences around the world. The essays show not only the complexities of Vietnamese diasporas but also how different these complexities are. They reveal a range of connections to Vietnam and to the countries where diasporic Vietnamese have settled. The images of losses, findings, adjustments, and developments in the book challenge thought about a single Vietnamese diaspora."" --Professor Olga Dror, Texas A&M University"
