- Summary:
- "The withdrawal of US troops from Southeast Asia in 1973 and the reunification of Vietnam in 1975 did not necessarily mean peace to all American and Vietnamese people. For many, those historical landmarks were only the beginning of another struggle--a search for a missing piece of their lives. In Postwar Journeys, Hang Le-Tormala seeks to understand the transnational peace efforts of American and Vietnamese people since the Vietnam War ended. She defines peace efforts in their broadest sense, ranging from individuals' search for peace of mind to reconciliation and peaceful relations among former antagonists, searching for missing family members or friends, helping people overcome the ordeals resulting from the war, and meeting or working with former opponents for the betterment of their societies"-- Provided by publisher.
