Asian American groups saw the emphasis on civil rights and ethnic awareness that developed in the 1970’s as an opportunity to explore their identities. This opportunity continued into the years after 1975, when Vietnamese refugees began expressing issues as exiles from their homeland. The war in Vietnam had changed much. Not only was it a civil war; it was also a conflict of two imported philosophies (Western liberal capitalism and communism) that crushed much of traditional Vietnamese culture and identity. Issues varied between the generation who fled Vietnam and the subsequent generations born in the United States, but common themes appear in English and in Vietnamese-language literature. Issues include struggles with Marxist ideology traditional beliefs in fate, different views on cultural survival in isolation, the loss of roots, and the conflict between assimilation and maintaining traditions. There are differing perspectives from men and women writers as well.
