Title
The Dust of Life: America's Children Abandoned in Vietnam,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Dust of Life is a collection of vivid and devastating oral histories of Vietnamese Amerasians. Abandoned during the war by their American fathers, discriminated against by the victorious Communists, and ignored for many years by the American government, they endured life in impoverished Vietnam. Their stories are sad, sometimes tragic, but they are also testimonials to the strength of human resiliency.While unique in many respects, the Vietnamese Amerasian story also illustrates themes that are tragically universal: neglect of the human byproducts of war, the destructiveness of prejudice and racism, the pain of abandonment, and the horrors of life amidst extreme poverty, hostility, and neglect.
