Nguyen-Vo states in "Forking Paths" that the empire builders are constructing a new universal-ism by historical amnesia. In other words, the complex and contingent history of the Vietnamese people must be forgotten so that the success story can be retold. Additionally, Vo states that when Vietnamese Americans reprise their history in the U.S., only those of the most simplistic, anti-communist, and pro empire views can come out. These are just two of the many ways the American Government has made efforts to appropriate the history of others or how Viet Nguyen wrote, turn them into bit actors for America's Vietnam War stories.
