Description
Scope/Content: An oral history with Mr. Tuan Anh Le, former soldier of the Vietnam Air force, United States citizen, and Vietnamese refugee. This interview focused on his experiences during the Vietnam War, as well as his journey coming to America as a soldier. He is volunteering his stories and memories to the Vietnamese Oral History Project in order to help add to the history that has already been preserved about the Vietnam War.
Scope/Content: The Linda Vo Class Oral Histories, 2012 subcollection are part of a seminar that introduced students to a range of key methodological issues in Asian American Studies. The readings are organized around questions, approaches, and critiques that will help students develop technical skills in qualitative research and analysis, as well as examine how researchers have studied the demographic transformations, economic restructuring, and political changes that shape social relations. We will gain a critical understanding of some of the theoretical, empirical, and ethical challenges posed by scholarly research in the humanities and social sciences. In addition, we will discuss "voice" which can refer to literal, direct forms of expression such as interviews, personal testimonies, and oral histories; and more broadly, as well as forms of symbolic representation such as photographs, videos, and other cultural texts. Students are required to complete a fieldwork research/oral history project, presentations, and short writing assignments.
