Little Saigon- the Power of the Vietnamese American

Little Saigon - the power of the Vietnamese American people Finally, the shop had to close down. The anti-Communist movement is extreme, and anyone who seems to even sympathize with the current Vietnamese government is called a rebel. For example, the community claims that Tony Lam, one of the Vietnamese American politicians, does not support the community of forcing the video store to close. In addition, Tony Lam was asked to ask the Westminster City Council to change the name of Little Saigon to an Asian town (Collet, & Furuya, 2010).

Like a small Saigon, it is a cultural creator of illegal people in Vietnam and is not isolated. In the last chapter we will lay the foundation for future research on the impact of globalization on the Vietnamese-American community. When the United States and Vietnam resume political and economic relations, things and culture will cross many national borders. The cross-border flow of these material cultures is seen as a threat to elderly Vietnamese people, but the young generation Vietnamese Americans seem to have accepted these cultural properties. How do Vietnamese Americans continue to define "Vietnamese"? Are new generation people increasingly influenced by Vietnam? Immigrants and refugee groups are strictly bound by strong anti-communist beliefs, are these emotions also applicable to future generations further away from history?
