Description:
This book describes in anthropological terms the issue of national identity among the citizens of the Vietnamese South. The author describes southern Vietnam's postwar history, the social history of ideas, shifts in state ideology, the impact of political and economic changes, and the contrasting fortunes of urban communities. Philip Taylor spent a considerable time in a southern Vietnamese village undertaking ethnographic research into the local view of modernity. He explores the differing interpretations of the village's view of its own history and the sense of its present decline, alongside state academic interpretations of southern regime modernity over the same period.
