Although almost a half century has passed since the Vietnam War ended, the war seems nearly as much a part of the American political [un]conscious today as it was during its course.

Although almost a half century has passed since the Vietnam War ended, the war seems nearly as much a part of the American political [un]conscious today as it was during its course. While creative and nonfiction works about the war abound, as do historical and sociological tracts, critical attention to the literature produced about the war, by Americans and North and South Vietnamese participants and affected parties, along with writers of other nationalities often viewing the war from a remove, has been lagging. Many theories of Postmodernity aid our understanding of the historical moment that many authors writing about the Vietnam War attempt to "re"-construct. But the "post" in Postmodernism seems to imply a completion to the ideals of Enlightenment, an idea easily attacked when examining the large numbers of displaced and refugee, the inferior status of women and minorities, and the continuing political unrest in numerous countries. Thus, greater sensitivity to local customs,events and individual plights of many "postmodern" subjects is required. My work seeks then to begin to fill in some of the gaps of critical inquiry.
