Abstract
Self-definition can be expressed through “narrative identity,” which are forms of discourse that emerge from the narrator’s experiences and memories. In the case of the Vietnamese migrants in Thailand, their stories of migration and daily life activities reflect the self-construction of their Vietnamese identity. This identity has an influence on the relationship between Thailand and Vietnam. This article presents the narratives of the identity of first-generation Vietnamese immigrants who migrated to Thailand between 1945 and 1946 and the process of forging new relationships between Thailand and Vietnam. This study employs the theoretical concepts of self-construction of identity and narrative identity. The results reveal that the narratives of the identity of Vietnamese people in Thailand reflect the ongoing reproduction and reconstruction of identity through narratives relating to people’s relationships with the state as well as the relationship between states. Their identity is constructed to serve the narrative owner and as a tool for establishing new relationships between states.
