Una memoria al plurale: i vietnamiti, la guerra e l’editoria italiana.

This essay gives an overview of the Italian publishing industry with regard to Vietnamese perspectives on the Vietnam War. It argues that in Italy the memory of the war still carries both the mark of Hollywood’s influence and of the wartime sympathies for the Vietnamese communists’ cause. The author advocates the translation of more recent scholarly works that question old assumptions about the war and its aftermath. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
