Summary:

In today's shrinking world the differences between one place and another appear to be rapidly diminishing yet never have so many peoples struggled to establish their own separate nation states. Resulting tensions have often become bloody and horrifying. What is the future of the nation-state in a world of multi-nationals and global communications? In this series, questions concerning identity and belonging are addressed by four world-famous writers and thinkers: Eric Hobsbawm, Desmond Tutu, Eqbal Ahmad and Maxine Hong Kingston. Facing the reality of what really happened in Vietnam and South-East Asia has become the life's work of American writer Maxine Hong Kingston. The daughter of first-generation Chinese immigrants, she was born in California and both her brothers fought for the United States in Vietnam. She travels with four veterans to a Vietnamese Buddhist community in the South of France where they meet Thich Nhat Hahn, settlement leader and a key player in the Paris summit that ended the war.
