A book of memories from Vietnamese diaspora
Updated
More than 30 years ago, Nathalie Nguyen's family came to Australia as political refugees from Vietnam. Her father was a South Vietnamese diplomat based in Japan, and after the collapse of his government, the family became stateless and eventually resettled in Australia. They were one of the first families in a flood of Vietnamese refugees to Australia, and the world. Now, Nathalie Nguyen has documented the oral histories of 40 Vietnamese women who sought asylum in Australia, in a new book.
