Know about the book -

Race, Gender, and Religion in the Vietnamese Diaspora is written by Thien-Huong T. Ninh and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3319571680 (ISBN 10) and 9783319571683 (ISBN 13).

This book examines how the racialization of religion facilitates the diasporic formation of ethnic Vietnamese in the U.S. and Cambodia, two communities that have been separated from one another for nearly 30 years. It compares devotion to female religious figures in two minority religions, the Virgin Mary among the Catholics and the Mother Goddess among the Caodaists. Visual culture and institutional structures are examined within both communities. Thien-Huong Ninh invites a critical re-thinking of how race, gender, and religion are proxies for understanding, theorizing, and addressing social inequalities within global contexts.
