thuan nguyen and Vy Nguyen, Editors Published March 2019

Publisher: UCLA Asian American Studies Center Paperback 9780934052504 170 pgs


MANY BRIDGES, ONE RIVER is the first published collection of interviews with organizers and activists who have been working in Vietnamese American communities throughout the United States, starting in the 1970s. These interviews document the strategies and lessons learned in the fight for social justice and progressive social change by Vietnamese Americans.


In reading these interviews, what shines through is the creativity, resilience, and heart of these organizers, and their love for community. As Viet organizers, they share openly about struggles with red-baiting, sexism, homophobia, intergenerational differences, language barriers, and burnout[...] Ultimately, we hope this collection of interviews sheds some light on the promise and the ongoing work of building a progressive/left Viet infrastructure in the United States, with an eye toward the broader project of social and economic transformation for all.
