An impressive history of the Vietnamese Community in Orange County; CaliforniaBy Tustin GuyWhether you are interested in the recent history of the resettled Vietnamese in the US; success stories of immigrants forced to move to a new county; or just local Orange County history; this is an excellent book for your collection. Here is a review I wrote for the newsletter of the Orange County Historical Society.The new book; the Vietnamese in Orange County; chronicles the history of the migration of the Vietnamese to Orange County from the fall of South Vietnam in the mid-1970s to the current day. Through over 280 vintage photographs and detailed information; the book gives a very solid overview of why these refugees had to leave their homeland; what they endured as they moved to a foreign land; and the success so many had with their entrepreneurial and resilient spirits.The book begins by showing family photos of men; women; and children still in their native country and then moves into the massive resettlement effort of hundreds of thousands as the North was winning the war and persecuting all those in the South who had opposed them. Photos show some of the tent cities that sprang up overnight at US military bases and overseas. One poignant family portrait shows the Nhan Thi Nguyen family outside of their tent in 1975. The mother raised her nine children alone until her husband was released from a Vietnamese re-education camp twelve years later.The book talks about the rapid adaptation of the Vietnamese to their new country as they went back to school for new skills or reinvented their lives by creating new businesses. While many families were resettled to various parts of the United States; so many began to relocate again to a warmer climate and where many of their fellow countrymen settled ndash; Orange County. They began their lives again in cities like Garden Grove; Santa Ana; and Westminster; which were more affordable to start anew.Often; I felt like I was viewing a family photo album where the family members numbered in the hundred-of-thousands. By including those types of photos; the authors created a wonderful way to embrace the reader into experiencing the family life of the new immigrants. I learned about the struggles; successes; religious life; and cultural activities. And as is apparent in the current day; we see their civic engagement as they embraced and became a vital part of the American political scene ndash; on the local; state; and national level.Even though I grew up in the 70s and 80s; I knew only a little of the resettlement effort. The authors have given me an understanding of the amazing character and strength of those who came to America and started their lives over again. The Vietnamese communityrsquo;s accomplishments in this ldquo;land of opportunityrdquo; are a tremendous success story ndash; and one that I would not have truly appreciated without their book.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A Very Cool Book About Vietnamese American Refugees in the OCBy Wolfgang ShaneThis is a great book about the Vietnamese American refugee experience told in an interesting new way. Its a photo book of the history of Vietnamese Americans in Orange County that starts with life in Vietnam before 1975 (the Fall of Saigon) to where they are today. It goes over their arrival in America and ends with prominence in politics. Along the way it covers religion; food; business and culture.The photos bring this history to life and make it accessible. My favorite photo was the one where a family couldnt afford a Christmas tree; so they used craft paper and made a paper Christmas tree that they hung on a wall and put presents under it. Another series of photos told the story of a woman separated from her family during the war and their eventual reunion in OC.I wish all history books were this interesting.
