Being Vietnamese ( Diaspora project Archive)

Adopted Vietnamese Identity and Place In the Diaspora project Archive

Authentic dog meat
This is a part of an archived digital project on the experiences of adopted Vietnamese and 2nd Generation Vietnamese.

The project aimed to highlight emerging voices in the adopted Vietnamese community made up of individuals who migrated to the West as babies and children. The project was developed by Indigo Willing, an adopted Vietnamese Australian and Founder of AVI, when she was a Rockefeller Fellow (alternative residency – see below) in the Humanities for the “(Re)Construction of Place and Identity In the Vietnamese Diaspora” Project at The William Joiner Center for the Study of War and Social Consequences, UMASS, Boston, USA.
