  • Description: In 2004, almost thirty years after the civil war between the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Republic of Vietnam, the Politburo of the Vietnamese Communist Party passed legislation that addressed the significant economic and cultural influence of an estimated 3 million diasporic Vietnamese. This chapter focuses on how diasporic subjects narrate their memories of the civil war, and how those memories intersect with race, gender and national belonging. It offer a comparative reading of two documentaries, Duki Dror’s The Journey of Vaan Nguyen and Doan Hoang’s Oh, Saigon, to analyze how these issues are circulating within transnational circuits. The chapter argues that these works challenge the neoliberal, teleological construction of history as a progression from war to reconciliation, bringing back the ghosts that continue to haunt post-war Vietnamese society and its diasporic communities. Dror’s film The Journey of Vaan Nguyen critiques nationalist historiographies by reframing diasporic displacement as a site of alternative affiliations.
