UNCLE HO to UNCLE SAM by TRIEU TRAN
A Vietnamese boy journeys with his mother — from the fall of Saigon, to a Viet Cong re-education camp in the jungle, to a refugee camp in Thailand, and, finally, to America. But in the New World this boy faces a turbulent passage to manhood shaped by his estranged father and by his own estrangement in the land of snow, hip-hop, urban gangs and clashing cultures. A riveting immigrant drama of becoming American while being haunted by the ghosts of Vietnam.
