More than forty years have passed since the official end of the
Vietnam War, yet the war's legacies endure. Its history and
iconography still provide fodder for film and fiction, communities
of war refugees have spawned a wide Vietnamese diaspora, and the
United States military remains embroiled in unwinnable wars with
eerie echoes of Vietnam. Looking Back on the Vietnam War brings
together scholars from a broad variety of disciplines, who offer
fresh insights on the war's psychological, economic, artistic,
political, and environmental impacts. Each essay examines a
different facet of the war, from its representation in Marvel comic
books to the experiences of Vietnamese soldiers exposed to Agent
Orange. By putting these pieces together, the contributors assemble
an expansive yet nuanced composite portrait of the war and its
global legacies. Though they come from diverse scholarly
backgrounds, ranging from anthropology to film studies, the
contributors are united in their commitment to original research.
Whether exploring rare archives or engaging in extensive
interviews, they voice perspectives that have been excluded from
standard historical accounts. Looking Back on the Vietnam War thus
embarks on an interdisciplinary and international investigation to
discover what we remember about the war, how we remember it, and
why.
