"Fifty years after the Fall of Saigon and twenty years after her family's emigration to America, Minh Nguyen returns to her native Vietnam to find out what's left of the old revolutionary project. In Memorial Park, a collection of essays pairing travelogue and criticism, Nguyen encounters relics of proletarian romance and vestiges of authoritarian control amid an evermore corporatized society. Along the way, she considers how contemporary artspeak confuses state censors, the rise of luxury "Smart Cities" as they supplant socialist housing complexes, and the grip of nostalgia on the diaspora"--Page 4 of cover.
