HIST257: After Vietnam: Remembering, Representing and Refighting the 'Bad War'

The module addresses the political, cultural and psychological consequences of the Vietnam War in the United States, and the ways that they combined and complicated one another. It addresses the way the war was commemorated through a so-called “healing” process designed to overcome wartime divisions; the repercussions of wartime atrocities; the position of Vietnam veterans as embodiments and reminders of the experience of the war; and the debates about the proper lessons of the Vietnam War and their application to later foreign and military policy contexts, including the renewed debates about the lessons of Vietnam in the wars in Asia after 2001.
