Vietnamese Americans

Discover the history, culture, traditions, and lived experiences of Vietnamese Americans in the United States.



Vietnamese Americans play a significant role in weaving the culture and makeup of American society. On the other side of the world to the United States, Vietnam has its own unique culture, history, and customs, all of which immigrants bring with them when they come to the US. This volume explores what it means to be a Vietnamese American, covering topics such as language, food, religion, holidays, economics, education, gender roles, assimilation, media, and notable people, to name a few. Starting with an introduction to the history of Vietnam and then delving into the factors and aspects of daily life for Vietnamese Americans, the book offers an insight into this ethnic group and how they contribute to the American Mosaic.
