Description
Scope/Content: An Oral history of Thuy Thi Nguyen, born in 1961 in Ba Ria, Vietnam and grew up in Vung Tau. At the time of interview, she is a librarian at Santa Ana College in Orange County, California. Thuy talked about her family’s escape from Vietnam as boat refugees and their process of resettlement in Orange County. She also discussed how she met and married her husband, their family life, and her Catholic faith. Material restricted until 2022-04-28. Scope/Content: The Natalie Newton Class Oral Histories, 2012 subcollection are part of an introductory course on the development of Vietnamese communities in the United States, with particular focus on Orange County’s Little Saigon community. This course will engage you in examining the demographic, social, and economic trends and issues confronting contemporary Vietnamese American communities. We will use the contextual lenses of race, ethnicity, culture, class, gender, sexuality, and religion to explore the major issues affecting Vietnamese Americans, including topics such as immigration, resettlement and adaptation, labor, discrimination and racism, community development, individual and social identity, family and generational issues, education, health, public policy agendas, political participation and activism, media representation, and knowledge and cultural production. Scope/Content: Photograph of Thuy Nguyen and husband, photographer and date unknown
