Elizabeth Adams- full length interview. Elizabeth is an 18 year old Asian American first generation immigrant. Her mother immigrated from what was formerly called Saigon, Vietnam and is now Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Her mother came to the US during the Vietnam War with her five younger siblings and was solely responsible at only the age of 15 for caring for herself and her five younger siblings.
For our final project of our Ethnic Literature course, we chose to examine the film "The Namesake". The film focuses on issues of cultural identity among first generation children. While keeping the film in mind, we conducted interviews with immigrants and children of immigrants to get a better insight into one's view or search for identity and the silencing that can occur as a result of that.
