Memoir of an overseas Chinese family in South Vietnam. Life during the French colonial times and the Japanese occupation, during the Vietnam war and after the war. War, kidnapping, imprisonment, intrigue and escape provide much of the action. The story of Lam's family, one amongst the very few who had suffered two Communist regimes, mirrors the vicissitudes of Chinese and Indochinese history in the 20th century. It reveals to us another time, another land, another way of life, and members of a gentle family rich in courage. A compelling memoir, a gentle family whose solidarity, hard work are a testament to the endurance of the human spirit. -- Midwest Book Review October 2001 (Amazon.com)

Mémoires d'une famille chinoise d'outre-mer au Sud-Vietnam. La vie à l'époque coloniale française et l'occupation japonaise, pendant la guerre du Vietnam et après la guerre. La guerre, l'enlèvement, l'emprisonnement, l'intrigue et l'évasion constituent une grande partie de l'action. L'histoire de la famille Lam, l'une des rares à avoir subi deux régimes communistes, reflète les vicissitudes de l'histoire chinoise et indochinoise au 20e siècle. Elle nous révèle une autre époque, une autre terre, un autre mode de vie, et les membres d'une douce famille riche de courage. Les mémoires captivants, une famille douce dont la solidarité, le travail acharné témoignent de l'endurance de l'esprit humain. -- Midwest Book Review octobre 2001 (Amazon.com)

Relative Histories focuses on the Asian American memoir that specifically recounts the story of at least three generations of the same family. This form of auto/biography concentrates as much on other members of one’s family as on oneself, generally collapses the boundaries conventionally established between biography and autobiography, and in many cases—as Rocío G. Davis proposes for the auto/biographies of ethnic writers—crosses the frontier into history, promoting collective memory. Davis centers on how Asian American family memoirs expand the limits and function of life writing by reclaiming history and promoting community cohesion. She argues that identity is shaped by not only the stories we have been told, but also the stories we tell, making these narratives important examples of the ways we remember our family’s past and tell our community’s story. In the context of auto/biographical writing or filmmaking that explores specific ethnic experiences of diaspora, assimilation, and integration, this work considers two important aspects: These texts re-imagine the past by creating a work that exists both in history and as a historical document, making the creative process a form of re-enactment of the past itself. Each chapter centers on a thematic concern germane to the Asian American experience: the narrative of twentieth-century Asian wars and revolutions, which has become the subtext of a significant number of Asian American family memoirs (Pang-Mei Natasha Chang’s Bound Feet and Western Dress, May-lee and Winberg Chai’s The Girl from Purple Mountain, K. Connie Kang’s Home Was The Land of Morning Calm, Doung Van Mai Elliott’s The Sacred Willow); family experiences of travel and displacement within Asia in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, which unveil a history of multiple diasporas that are often elided after families immigrate to the United States (Helie Lee’s Still Life With Rice, Jael Silliman’s Jewish Portraits, Indian Frames, Mira Kamdar’s Motiba’s Tattoos); and the development of Chinatowns as family spaces (Maxine Hong Kingston’s China Men, Lisa See’s On Gold Mountain, Bruce Edward Hall’s Tea that Burns). The final chapter analyzes the discursive possibilities of the filmed family memoir ("family portrait documentary"), examining Lise Yasui’s A Family Gathering, Ruth Ozeki Lounsbury’s Halving the Bones, and Ann Marie Fleming’s The Magical Life of Long Tack Sam. Davis concludes the work with a metaliterary engagement with the history of her own Asian diasporic family as she demonstrates the profound interconnection between forms of life writing.

As Qing Dynasty China disintegrated, economic hardship and civil disorder led to millions of Chinese men and women seeking their fortunes abroad, many journeying south into French Indochina. These emigres settled into tight-knit communities called huiguan: organisations which closely mirrored the religious, social and economic constitution of their own places of origin. Here, Tracy Barrett sheds light on the overseas Chinese communities in French Indochina and the interactions between them and French colonial authorities. She also addresses the nature, scope and effectiveness of the congregation system - an institution designed by the French to control Indochina's overseas Chinese but eventually extended across the greater French empire as a means of monitoring 'foreign Asiatics'. Including a close analysis of French colonial law and of the economic and social networks between Chinese settler communities across Indonesia, "The Chinese Diaspora in South East Asia" provides an important insight into the characteristics of Chinese migration.
