The only handbook on Vietnam that combines colorful, discursive chapters and supporting reference materials.
Beginning with a lengthy introduction to Vietnam's past, this book traces the historical context that serves as a foundation for the present-day society and culture of this Southeast Asian nation. Intended for nonspecialists and other Asian enthusiasts, this work gives readers a thorough understanding of this diverse, richly storied land. From Vietnam's indigenous dynasties to outside influences including Buddhism, Confucianism, Western imperialism, and the Chinese bureaucracy system, the long path to a Vietnamese identity is traced―one that showcases a people's resilience, creativity, and intense love of freedom. This volume includes translations of numerous primary documents.
