This transnational mobilization also convinced the evacuees the \"free world\" would never let Vietnam remain divided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany people see the Vietnam wars spanning from 1945 to 1989 as separate conflicts. But Nguyen demonstrates that the evacuees experienced a continuous civil war.\u003ci\u003e A Displaced Nation\u003c\/i\u003e shows the evacuees felt so validated by transnational support that they thought they could use this external help to return one day to the north. This belief was not constant nor were the strategies to achieve it the same for all, but through their political activism and action the evacuees showed they were willing to seize any opportunity to oppose Hanoi during the subsequent decades, even once established overseas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhi-Van Nguyen is Associate Professor in the Department of Humanities and Social Science at the University of Saint-Boniface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 306\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 15, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44289859846246,"sku":"9781501778612","price":72.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/N2F2sZbcQ9781501778612.webp?v=1766773975","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/a-displaced-nation-the-1954-evacuation-and-its-political-impact-on-the-vietnam-wars-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
