Description
In Tours of Vietnam, Scott Laderman demonstrates how tourist literature has shaped Americans? Tracing a history of ideological assertions embedded in travel discourse, Laderman analyzes the use of tourism in the Republic of Vietnam as a form of Cold War cultural diplomacy by a fledgling state that, according to one pamphlet published by the Vietnamese tourism authorities, was joining the ?family of free nations.?
