South Vietnamese, particularly \"intellectuals\" and those thought to have been associated with the previous regime, underwent terrible punishment, persecution and \"re-education.\" Seeking their freedom, thousands of South Vietnamese took to the sea in rickety boats, often with few supplies, and faced the dangers of nature, pirates, and starvation. While the sea and its danger claimed many lives, those who made it to the refugee camps still faced struggle and hardships in their quest for freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Here are collected the narratives of nineteen men and women who survived the ordeal of escape by sea. Today, they live in the United States as students, professors, entrepreneurs, scientists, and craftspeople who have chosen to tell the stories of their struggles and their triumph. Each narrative is accompanied by biographical information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Terrell Cargill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786407859\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786407859\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.76h x 6.04w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2000 pg. 48","brand":"Mary Terrell Cargill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992416026879,"sku":"9780786407859","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_28bf48be-7d50-4c77-9f4c-cc570af3da9a.jpg?v=1683318844","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/voices-of-vietnamese-boat-people-mary-terrell-cargill-9780786407859","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
