Viet Thanh Nguyen and his family came to the United States in 1975 as refugees during the Vietnam War. Growing up in America, he realized that most movies and books about the war focused on Americans, while the Vietnamese were silenced and erased. Nguyen was inspired by this lack of representation to write about the war from a Vietnamese perspective. Now a professor at the University of Southern California and an award-winning novelist, creative nonfiction writer, scholar, teacher, and essayist, Nguyen will present \u201cRefugees, Language, and the Meaning of \u2018America<\/a>\u201d on Thursday, April 7, at 7 p.m. in Kathryn Mohrman Theatre<\/strong> as part of the \u201cDismantling Hate Series.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
