Many second-generation Vietnamese struggle to articulate what it means to be Vietnamese. For some, Vietnamese-ness is linked to their parents’ memories, leading to a dependency on their parents’ stories of home to create their sense of self and relationship to Vietnam. Yet, in parental stories of the past, “home” is plural and fragmented. Through interviews with second-generation Vietnamese in Massachusetts, this project will produce a digital archive to explore how they negotiate and define their Vietnamese identity. The project will draw from family photos and oral narratives, recognizing the rich interplay of memory and family in defining identity and the importance of affective cross-generational ties in remembering and creating diasporic notions of home.
