This article examines Australia's formal acknowledgement of South Vietnamese veterans and the controversies that arose in the Australian Parliament over this issue in 1985–1986. It draws on a wide range of archival sources and government documents in the National Archives of Australia and the National Library of Australia as well as a major national oral history collection. The archival record not only reflects on attitudes from both sides of politics towards the Vietnam War and the Vietnamese refugees that followed in the aftermath of the war but also on the ways in which Australia dealt with a significant refugee community and specifically the war veterans in that community. The oral histories reveal that Australia's recognition of the war service of South Vietnamese veterans made an important contribution to the transition of the veterans and their families to a sense of belonging in Australia and new identities as Vietnamese Australians.","PeriodicalId":45431,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Politics and History","volume":"71 3","pages":"479-495"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145196637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

“The Pause That Refreshes”: American Servicemen on R&R in Australia, 1967–1971 “让人耳目一新的暂停”：1967-1971年在澳大利亚休整的美国军人

This “friendly invasion” constitutes a substantial neglected legacy of the conflict. Across dozens of oral history interviews and memoirs, US servicemen recall with fondness their week-long respite in a nation that was at once comfortably familiar and safely distinct. Their preconceptions of Australia were framed by racialised and sexualised imaginaries. Comforted by the prospect of spending time in a predominantly “White” nation, White Americans were candid about their desire to enjoy the company of Australian women. At the same time, perceptions of Australian racism and immigration exclusion framed the expectations of African American servicemen. Reality, however, was more complicated, and undermines easy assumptions. While Australian memory of the scheme centres on its supposedly dramatic role in Sydney's nightlife district, Kings Cross, the experiences of Americans were far more diverse than such narratives would suggest. Perhaps surprisingly, the experiences of African American and Latino servicemen in Australia were also frequently welcoming and non-discriminatory. Individual Australians were more colour-blind in their everyday interactions than their governments, reinforcing scholarly findings regarding the reception of Black servicemen during the Second World War.","PeriodicalId":45431,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Politics and History","volume":"71 3","pages":"399-415"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ajph.70000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145196890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the case of the war in Vietnam, Australian men often interacted with local women on base, in civilian spaces, or in passing. Occasionally, couples would form private relationships and, in some cases, marry and return to Australia at the end of deployment. Vietnamese war bride marriages challenged Australian military norms and societal pressures. Despite having previously received little attention, these marriages—set against the Australian context of 1960s counter-revolutions, 1970s anti-war protests and continued anxieties around race nearing the end of the White Australia Policy—were indeed political. This paper is primarily concerned with the complex gender and racial dynamics of the intimate lives of soldiers and examines how couples met, courted, and married during the Vietnam War. This paper will address the ways marriages were controlled by military procedure, defined by the public and experienced by the couples themselves. Despite being small in numbers, historicising Vietnamese war bride marriages allows for a unique exploration of cross-cultural relationships during the war and shows how the intimate legacy of public military service interacts with the private lives of those deployed to Vietnam.","PeriodicalId":45431,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Politics and History","volume":"71 3","pages":"416-439"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ajph.70001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145196803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It examines how advisors identified underperformance among officials and officers in Phuoc Tuy and pursued either coaching or removal as solutions—efforts that were repeatedly undermined by cultural barriers, systemic corruption, and structural weaknesses within the Republic of Vietnam. The study argues that the RVN’s failure to develop and retain capable leaders was symptomatic of broader institutional failings, and that the limitations of the advisory model—combined with a flawed understanding of Vietnamese society and the complex wartime environment—contributed to a cycle of superficial progress and recurring setbacks. Ultimately, the experience in Phuoc Tuy challenges optimistic assessments of pacification success and illustrates the broader difficulties of nation-building during wartime.","PeriodicalId":45431,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Politics and History","volume":"71 3","pages":"460-478"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ajph.13067","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145196402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
