ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the Geneva Accords in 1954, nearly one million people left North Vietnam for the South. They are primarily called B\u1eafc di c\u01b0. There have been numerous studies on these North Vietnamese refugees, the majority of which are centred around examining them as anti-communists and devout Christians and elucidating the governmental policies and the socio-economic effects related to their southward migration. Nevertheless, limited scholarly attention has been paid to their contested emotional experiences and representations of their homeland in North Vietnam and the place of their arrival in the South. These under-researched aspects possibly denote their complex awareness of themselves while living in the South between 1954 and 1975, if we take into account the theory of the sense of place, which generally stresses the interconnection between place and identity. This article examines how North and South Vietnam are represented by Mai Th\u1ea3o\u2014a prominent Northern \u00e9migr\u00e9 writer in the Republic of Vietnam\u2014in his works published between 1954 and 1975. The aim of this study is to indicate Mai Th\u1ea3o\u2019s complicated psychological experiences of the place of his origin and the place he took refuge after his migration in 1954 and, more generally, his consciousness and representation of his identity. I argue that in his works of the late 1950s, North and South Vietnam are mostly represented\u00a0as politicised places from the vision of a proactively anti-communist Mai Th\u1ea3o, whilst his depictions of North Vietnam as a lost paradise associated with beautiful recollections and a dystopian South during the 1960s and early 1970s highlight his self-consciousness as a diasporic subject.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
