In Transnationalizing Vietnam, Kieu-Linh Caroline Valverde, explores the importance of transnationalism and the role it plays in Vietnam and other diasporic groups. Diaspora continues to be a working definition. Diaspora remains united or connections through language, religion, history, or other strong ties. Diaspora often refers to the population outside of the homeland or home country. However, negative attitudes and relationships comes between diasporic groups and the host country, and such divisions may also form within the diasporic community itself. The Vietnamese diaspora began when the majority of South Vietnamese immigrated to the United States and other countries after the Vietnam War. In order to strengthen the connection of Vietnamese and Vietnamese Americans, Valverde began her transnational studies. Valverde states “Vietnamese, in Vietnam and in diaspora maintain deep connections and lasting influence over each other as the participate in transitional acts that transgress geographic distance, restrictive nation-state-legislation, international agreements, and even ethnic community pressures”. Furthermore, in order to expand knowledge and have a better understanding of their transnational experience and diaspora, Asian American students supported the idea of the evolve of ethnic studies
How can we improve the relationships or attitudes between the diaspora and the host country?
