Description: Scope/Content: Oral history of Thuy Tran Gutierrez, born on September 11, 1961 in Vietnam. She is currently an Engineering Technician. In her interview, Thuy describes her journey from Vietnam to U.S. starting from her childhood in Bien Hoa and the adventures and hardships she experienced on the boat that was lost in Malaysia on the way to U.S., as well as on a coconut plantation in Malaysia. Then, she shares how living under communist rule was very hard because her family was forced to give all of their money to the government and was compensated only with 200 dollars. She said that she learned about how glorious Ho Chi Minh and communism was as part of the school curriculum.
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.
