Many people conceive of Vietnam through images of war rather than through its culture.

The course helps students to gain insight into a traditional culture that, in part, shaped the modern course of Vietnam's history. The course challenges the old stereotypical views of Vietnam advanced by Hollywood movies with the new cultural images presented through Vietnamese eyes. Enrollment limited to 25. T. Nguyen.
