Section Info:
Topic: Vietnam War Description: For many Americans, the word "Vietnam" immediately brings to mind "The Vietnam War" and a host of images and ideas. Often Vietnam is equated with war, not a country or a people. This course will analyze the American War in Vietnam and much more. We will study the history of European colonialism, Vietnamese resistance, the American-Vietnam War's origins and effects, and the war's ongoing legacies. The massive herbicide spraying, for instance, still harms the environment and health of Vietnamese and others in the region; American veterans also suffer the results of Agent Orange sprayed during the war. The course includes learning about the politics and culture of post-war Vietnam and the Vietnamese diaspora.
