In our latest, we dive into the story of Vietnamese immigration to the U.S. following the war through the lens of food with our long time friend and colleague Prof Roy Vũ. We discuss Vietnamese-American food gardens and cooking, how they affected the community in places like Houston and the Gulf Coast and the multiracial community developed in places like the Houston’s Allen Parkway Village. We also talk about the politics of the diaspora, the murder of Vietnamese journalist Nguyen Dam Phong by right-wing anti-communist Vietnamese groups and right wing Vietnamese support and participation in the January 6th insurrection. Bio// Roy Vũ is a history professor at Dallas College North Lake Campus and an advisory board member for Foodways Texas and Keep Irving Beautiful, where he is the 2018 recipient of the Sadie Ray Graff Education Award. His previous books include Our Finite Bounty: An Anthology of Sustainable Topics and Feasted Landscapes: Sustainability in American Topics. ———— Outro- “Green and Red Blues” by Moody Links// + Roy’s website: https://royvu.com + Farm to Freedom: Vietnamese-Americans and Their Food Gardens (https://bit.ly/3A8tvdZ) Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/uvrdubcM) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ Our Networks// +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork +Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/) This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.
