Paperback. Condition: New. No other Vietnamese family in modern time had such an intense involvement in high politics and public affairs as the Ngô-Dìnhs. Through the tenure of President Ngô-Dình Di?m of the Republic of Vietnam (1955-1963), this family helped shape Vietnamese history in numerous ways. President Di?m's rule in South Vietnam was perceived by many to be authoritarian and nepotistic, but it is important for historians in general and for anyone interested in Vietnamese history in particular to learn more about his family members who played such important roles in his government. How did they see themselves, their country, and their compatriots? How did each member of the family think of others? How did they view the family's role in history? Sixty years after the death Ngô-Dình Nhu, English-language readers can now learn about Madame Ngô-Dình Nhu's life from her own words and recollections. Of all the Ngô-Dìnhs, Madame Ngô-Dình Nhu (Tr?n L? Xuân) was perhaps the most controversial figure. In this posthumous memoir translated from French, Madame Nhu narrates important events in her life, from her childhood to her marriage to Mr. Nhu, from her time in Hu? during the Franco-Vietnamese war to the happy years of the Di?m government, and from her forced exile to the last days of her life. A complex individual and a strong-willed woman who refused to accept the terrible hands fate dealt her, Madame Nhu bared her pains, lamented the plight of Vietnam, and railed against the foreign powers that meddled in Vietnamese affairs. In an essay accompanying their mother's narrative in The White Pebble, the late Ngô-Dình L? Quyên and Ngô-Dình Qu?nh (along with Jacqueline Willemetz) join their mother to defend the integrity of the Di?m government and the Ngô-Dình family against their critics. By telling the family's history alongside that of the Vietnamese nation, Ngô-Dình Nhu's children wanted to demonstrate the sincerity and depth of patriotism in the family. This book not only provides a unique account of Madame Nhu and the Ngô-Dình family by its members but also illuminates politics in Republican Vietnam and its troubled relationship with the United States.…

Paperback. Condition: New. English-language scholarship all too often dismisses South Vietnam as an American creation, a product of US imperialism. Republican Vietnam, 1963-1975 boldly upends this depiction, exposing a diverse and dynamic portrait of the Second Republic. In twelve essays, each based on original archival research, the volume brings to life the Second Republic in all its complexities, displaying how politicians, students, educators, publishers, journalists, musicians, religious leaders, businessmen, and ordinary citizens built a highly intricate society-with dazzling entrepreneurial zeal, an outspoken press, globally engaged religions, a vibrant intellectual and associational culture, and a level of artistic production that remains unmatched since the Vietnam War. That inspired and frenzied age, though short lived, held a resilient spirit that Vietnamese refugees have kept alive. The trove of vernacular music and print media, not to mention the many associations the Vietnamese diaspora founded, exemplify the republican values that once energized South Vietnamese culture. But this nuanced society has appeared in popular media and American scholarship as a hopelessly dependent nation, led by corrupt dictators beholden to US interests. In contrast to such negative stereotypes, this account situates South Vietnamese front and center as agents of their own histories. Republican Vietnam is the first collection of scholarly essays on the Second Republic since the end of the Vietnam War. It is also among the first to use republicanism as a lens to re-examine twentieth-century Vietnamese history, the Vietnam War, and the diaspora. The twelve essays together show how war, in tandem with external intervention, shaped South Vietnam's economy, culture, and the life of every individual and family. By featuring works from Vietnamese and Vietnamese diasporic studies, this text takes the important step of bridging the two fields, laying the foundation for cross-disciplinary projects in the future.…
