    • Abstract:
      "After Saigon's Fall: Refugees and US–Vietnamese Relations, 1975–2000" by Amanda C. Demmer explores the establishment of formal ties between the United States and Vietnam after the Vietnam War. The book focuses on the one million Vietnamese people who migrated and settled in the United States, arguing that their mass migration played a crucial role in the normalization of relations between the two countries. The author examines the immediate aftermath of the war, the period between 1980 and 1989, and the tensions that arose as the United States developed a roadmap toward normalization. The book also highlights the role of women in organizing and mobilizing transnational networks to influence US policy. [Extracted from the article]
