所谓“美国越南裔文学”，是指具有越南血统的美国人用英语创作的文学作品。这里的美国越南裔作家主要由美国越南裔第一代、1.5 代（年幼的越南难民）作家，以及在美国出生的越南裔第二代作家组成。三代作家有不同的成长背景、文化诉求和身份认同，这些因素促成了美国越南裔文学主题、体裁与风格的多元化。  
“美国越南裔文学”无疑是“美国亚裔文学”版图中不可或缺的一部分，它在短时间内取得了引人注目的成绩，成为美国少数族裔文学中的佼佼者。与华裔文学和日裔文学等美国亚裔文学相比，“美国越南裔文学”发展起步较晚、历史较短，文学作品相对较少，但随着 1.5 代越南裔和第二代越南裔作家的崛起，越南裔文学发展迅猛，影响力逐渐扩大，逐步得到美国与其他国家学者的追捧研究。  
通过“美国越南裔文学”，人们可以观察美国与越南的战争历史和现实处境，同时作为观照，促使我们反思亚裔的发展历史和进行自我文化探索。20 世纪 60 年代，越南的殖民历史启发了越南裔对战争和历史的思考，为美  
国越南裔文学的发展奠定了基础。陈文颖的《船上无乘客》（1965）是其中的杰出代表。随着 1975 年越南战争的结束，大批越南难民涌入美国，在黎莉 · 海思利浦和梅 · 艾略特等第一代作家的努力下，美国越南裔文学开始发轫。  
从 20 世纪 90 年代开始，随着越南裔 1.5 代作家的成长，越南裔文学开始崭露头角，文学作品产出迅猛，阮清越、莫妮卡 · 张与赖清荷等越南裔作家荣获普利策奖、美国国家图书奖与代顿文学奖等重要奖项，让越南裔文学阔步进入新的发展纪元。
