Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Making coal patties. Selling liquid soap. Shopping at a glittering shoe mecca. Shes done them all living half her life in deprived-post-war-communist-Vietnam-turned-free-market. Its life in a vacuum when strange types of brainwashing happened. Part memoir and part social criticism, Why Do You Look at Me and See a Girl? is a provocative read about a full-fledged bilingual who fights to get free from the dead past and her ancestors sins.The story starts with her grandmothers prison visit and moves to a journey through the jungle carried out for family reunion. Drawing strength from her, Hoang completes her transformation in America from an international student to a free naturalized being. As she sheds her adoration for the impeccable American logic, oscillates between languages, and crosses oceans, she confronts the power play and biases, cultural inhibitors and prejudices that condition human behaviors, be it in Vietnam, America or Thailand. All along, she claims justice for her under-appreciated grandma, straightens male and white patronization, tears down tradition and brainwashing, uncovers the Asian submission to western iconography, and resists the attraction of a white guy. In lucid prose and with a hint of quiet humor, Why Do You Look at Me and See a Girl? is an unflinching pursuit of questions about family, finding ones voice, home, and freedom.
