This poignant collection of oral histories tells the stories of nine Laotians, four Cambodians and nine Vietnamese: what their lives were like before 1975, what happened after the Communist takeover that made them decide to flee their native countries, and how they escaped.

The storytellers (housewife, Amerasian child, schoolteacher, government clerk, military officer, security agent, Buddhist monk, artist) create a broad and moving picture of the new realities of contemporary Indochina.

A Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellow, Joanna Catherine Scott is also a novelist and a prizewinning poet. She lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
