About this listen

This Wednesday marks the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. The conflict led to more than one million people fleeing the war-torn countries of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Canada accepted approximately 200,000 refugees from the region between 1975 and the 1990s. Canadian author Vinh Nguyen was among them. He speaks with Piya Chattopadhyay about retracing his family’s journey in his memoir The Migrant Rain Falls in Reverse, and how this moment in history resonates with diasporic experiences today.
