A National Church Divided --Notes --Bibliography --IndexIn this important new study, Charles Keith explores the complex position of the Catholic Church in modern Vietnamese history. By demonstrating how French colonial rule allowed for the transformation of Catholic missions in Vietnam into broad and powerful economic and institutional structures, Keith discovers the ways race defined ecclesiastical and cultural prestige and control of resources and institutional authority. This, along with colonial rule itself, created a culture of religious life in which relationships between Vietnamese Catholics and European missionaries were less equal and more fractious than ever before. However, the colonial era also brought unprecedented ties between Vietnam and the transnational institutions and culture of global Catholicism, as Vatican reforms to create an independent national Church helped Vietnamese Catholics to reimagine and redefine their relationships to both missionary Catholicism and to colonial rule itself. Much like the myriad revolutionary ideologies and struggles in the name of the Vietnamese nation, this revolution in Vietnamese Catholic life was ultimately ambiguous, even contradictory: it established the foundations for an independent national Church, but it also polarized the place of the new Church in post-colonial Vietnamese politics and society and produced deep divisions between Vietnamese Catholics themselves.From Indochina to Vietnam: Revolution and War in a Global PerspectiveChurch from empire to nationHISTORY / Asia / GeneralbisacshVietnamChurch historyVietnamHistoryasian history.books about religion.books for history lovers.catholic church.catholic history.christianity.colonial modern vietnam.discussion books.easy to read.engaging.europe and asia.european history.french colonial rule.history of christianity.home school history books.leisure reads.nonfiction.page turner.post colonial vietnam.religion and politics.religion in asia.religious studies.southeast asia.vatican.vietnam history.vietnamese catholics.vietnamese culture.vietnamese politics.HISTORY / Asia / General.282/.597Keith Charles1977-843000MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825659403321Catholic Vietnam1881156UNINA
