Description:Ho Chi Minh's Motorbike immerses the reader in the world of Vietnam through the eyes of an American tourist. Sibyl James examines contemporary Vietnam as well as the ghosts of the past; her insights on such issues as the nature of war, imperialism, and the role of women are informed by her experiences as a war protester, as a teacher in China, and as a woman. The language is vivid, colorful, and clean, and the descriptions build gradually, as if the reader is on the journey with the narrator and is slowly reaching the point of saturation of both culture and landscape: the puppet theatres, the market places, the city streets crowded with motorbikes, the lush greenery, and the watery landscape. "It is a personal journey," Sibyl James writes, and it is the story of the "remembered collision of the U.S. with Vietnam." James believes that the more we understand about other cultures, "the less likely we are able to be in conflict with them."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
