This month, a week earlier than normal, Europe in the Pub has Harriet Earle on Whose war is it anyway? Vietnam, the US and France in conflict... and comics!

Monday 18th August, 7:30pm, The Museum. Come along, and bring friends.
Europe in the Pub Monday 18th August 2025 Whose war is it anyway? Vietnam, the US and France in conflict... and comics! with Harriet Earle We all know the image of the American soldier, fresh from jungle combat with a wild stare. He's the staple of Vietnam War pop culture created by the war's losers - the USA. In film and comics, the yank is a mainstay. Sometimes, we also see the French - not often, and not always favourably portrayed. But the war in Vietnam did not belong to either countries; it belongs to Vietnam. After all, in Vietnam, the war is known as Kháng chiến chống Mỹ ('Resistance War against America'). Okay, enough word play. Where are the Vietnamese in American comics of the war? Are they capable warriors or childlike naifs? Are they monstrous or are they simply missing?  Forthcoming talks 29th September: Joel Mayfield on The Sheffield Bin Strikes 27th October: Diane Rodgers on Folk Horror 24th November: Edanur Yazıcı on Migrant Exploitation in the Care Industry Last Monday of the month, 7:30pm, upstairs in The Museum, Orchard Square Public talks on Europe, transnationalism and interculturality through Sheffield Hallam Languages & Cultures Twitter, Bluesky, Facebook & Instagram: @europeinthepub Questions & proposals: alex.marshall@shu.ac.uk and a.louis@shu.ac.uk Background image: a comic book drawing of a man in green combat fatigues and a helmet, his shirt open to show his ample chest, standing in front of an American flag shooting a machine gun.

Apologies for erroneously putting the date as the 25th in previous communications. This was due to a half-witted oaf forgetting the August Bank Holiday.
