Ben Tran’s research examines the politics and aesthetics of twentieth- and twenty-first-century Southeast Asian, Asian American, and Anglophone literatures. As the repercussions of colonialism and decolonization, modern warfare, climate change, and globalization continue to unfold in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Rim, he examines how literary and cultural works depict and resist modernity’s vertiginous transformations.His first book, Post-Mandarin: Masculinity and Aesthetic Modernity in Colonial Vietnam (Fordham UP 2017), examines how the radical 1919 displacement of the 1000-year-old Chinese-influenced mandarinal system by a French baccalaureate curriculum created the conditions for modern Vietnamese literature. The book illuminates how European-educated natives assumed the intellectual authority of the mandarin by embracing European fields of knowledge, a new romanized alphabet, print media, and an audience of women readers.Ben Tran’s current scholarship has two trajectories. The first traces how the biological necessity of breathing has become a universal right to breath—a universal right that we must now fight for. He does so by studying the weaponization and engineering of the atmosphere, transnational police tactics, and the history of air conditioning.The second, Foreign Mother Tongues: Literary Dubbing and Modern Literature, examines the shifting politics behind post-World War II representations of Southeast Asia through what he calls “literary dubbing.” A form of translation, “literary dubbing” occurs when the language that the reader encounters on the page is not the same language in which characters think and speak. Literary dubbing is a ubiquitous practice and topic in postcolonial and diasporic literature, from the language debate in African literature to Sinophone writing, and from ethnic modernism to Asian American literature. Yet it has been an under-theorized and understudied phenomenon, in part because it operates as a kind of invisible translation that occurs during the author’s writing process. The project foregrounds Southeast Asian anticolonial literatures and diasporic literature’s Cold War context, examining how these literatures’ Cold War political stakes and complexities are obscured by contemporary globalization.Recently, his course offerings include racialization and capitalism (graduate), land and (dis)possession (graduate), blackness and the Asian Century, the history and culture of the Third World movement, and cultural representations of the Vietnam War.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-vietnamese-with-kenneth-nguyen/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

His work combines elements of orchestral, choral, acoustic, and electronic genres to create diverse scoundscapes with roots in Vietnamese music and culture to construct provocative and inspiring musical compositions.Truc Ho’s musical commentaries of society and the Vietnam War are drawn from his life as a political refugee. In 1981, he left his home and communist Vietnam at 16 years old. He traveled for seven (7) days through Cambodia and Thailand by foot, bicycle, train, and cargo bus.He avoided bombs and being caught by the Khmer Rouge. Fortunate to have been let go by the latter, he was stripped of all clothes and possessions. He walked naked toward the border of Thailand where he was taken in by the International Red Cross. His experience as a political refugee has inspired him to actively raise concerns for human rights and freedom against oppressive regimes and become a beloved activist and leader in the Vietnamese community.Truc Ho currently serves as the President of Bên Em Đang Có Ta (or “Stand by You”) Foundation, which celebrates its 15th year of service this year. Its core mission is to bring social change through music and charitable activities. The Foundation has successfully mobilized the Vietnamese American community to offer humanitarian support to those in need, both inVietnamese and non-Vietnamese communities. The Foundation has had a strong track record in fundraising on multimedia platforms to support those suffering from social and natural disasters, with over $4,405,114.17 donated to over sixteen (16) different causes since its inception. These donations helped not only Americans who suffered from the storms Harvy, Irma, and Maria, over the years, but also victims of the Nepal earthquake in 2015, and Filipino victims of the 2013 HaiyanTypoon as well as victims of the wars in Afghanistan and Ukraine. The Foundation also lens numerous campaigns to advocate for human rights in Vietnam and Hong Kong, which has created a community of understanding and compassion for different plights.In addition to his work at Stand by You Foundation, Truc Ho currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Saigon Broadcasting Television Network (“SBTN”), the first and largest television network in North America that provides Vietnamese Americans with news, cultural, and entertainment content in the Vietnamese language. Launched in 2002, SBTN has offices in Washington, D.C., San Jose, Seattle, Boston, Dallas, and Toronto.

Truc Ho was also known for his work as the executive producer and music director for the music variety show, Asia Entertainment, which is one of the first Vietnamese American music labels established outside of Vietnam. Truc Ho’s work at Asia Entertainment was well recognized worldwide for his continued focus on political commentaries against communist Vietnam’s oppressive and inhumane policies.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-vietnamese-with-kenneth-nguyen/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
