In Four Decades On, historians, anthropologists, and literary
critics examine the legacies of the Second Indochina War, or what
most Americans call the Vietnam War, nearly forty years after the
United States finally left Vietnam. They address matters such as
the daunting tasks facing the Vietnamese at the war's end-including
rebuilding a nation and consolidating a socialist revolution while
fending off China and the Khmer Rouge-and "the Vietnam syndrome,"
the cynical, frustrated, and pessimistic sense that colored
America's views of the rest of the world after its humiliating
defeat in Vietnam. The contributors provide unexpected perspectives
on Agent Orange, the POW/MIA controversies, the commercial trade
relationship between the United States and Vietnam, and
representations of the war and its aftermath produced by artists,
particularly writers. They show how the war has continued to affect
not only international relations but also the everyday lives of
millions of people around the world. Most of the contributors take
up matters in the United States, Vietnam, or both nations, while
several utilize transnational analytic frameworks, recognizing that
the war's legacies shape and are shaped by dynamics that transcend
the two countries. Contributors. Alex Bloom, Diane Niblack Fox, H.
Bruce Franklin, Walter Hixson, Heonik Kwon, Scott Laderman, Mariam
B. Lam, Ngo Vinh Long, Edwin A. Martini, Viet Thanh Nguyen,
Christina Schwenkel, Charles Waugh
