  • How 'The Sympathizer' confronts Hollywood's version of the Vietnam War

    How 'The Sympathizer' confronts Hollywood's version of the Vietnam War
    May 17 2024
    Hollywood depictions have long helped inform America's understanding of the Vietnam War.

    But there was usually one thing missing from these Vietnam War stories: the Vietnamese perspective.

    For Vietnamese Americans, like author Viet Thanh Nguyen, that experience left him feeling confused as a child.

    In his Pulitzer-winning debut novel The Sympathizer, Nguyen filled that gap by telling the story of a Vietnamese double agent who struggled with his involvement in all parts of the conflict.

    And with the release of a new HBO series adapting the story, one question arises: Can The Sympathizer subvert the long-standing narrative on the Vietnam war in Hollywood?

  • As antisemitism grows, it is easier to condemn than define

    As antisemitism grows, it is easier to condemn than define
    May 16 2024
    For American Jews who grew up thinking antisemitism was a thing of the past, the last several years have been startling. White supremacists marched in Charlottesville. A gunman massacred worshippers at a synagogue in Pittsburgh. Then came the Hamas attacks of October 7th and Israel's war in Gaza.

    The Anti-Defamation League says since then, antisemitic incidents in the US are up 361% over the same period a year ago. Both Congress and the White House have tried to address antisemitism in recent weeks, yet there's still a debate about what it is.

    Two journalists, who have been thinking and writing about antisemitism in the U.S. weigh in.
