Americans have tended to treat Vietnam as an extension of their own hopes and fears, successes and failures, rather than addressing the Vietnamese record. In this volume, David Marr offers the first serious intellectual history of Vietnam, focusing on the period just prior to full-scale revolutionary upheaval and protracted military conflict. He argues that changes in political and social consciousness between 1920 and 1945 were a necessary precondition to the mass mobilization and people's war strategies employed subsequently against the French and the Americans. Thus he rejects the prevailing notion that Vietnamese success was primarily due to communist techniques of organization. However, Vietnamese Tradition on Trial goes beyond simply accounting for anyone's victory or defeat to an informed description of intellectual currents in general. Replying for his information on a previously ignored corpus of books, pamphlets, periodicals, and leaflets, the author isolates eight issues of central concern to twentieth-century Vietnamese. The new intelligentsia-indubitably the product of a peculiar French colonial milieu, yet never divorced from the Vietnamese past and always looking to a brilliant Vietnamese future-spearheaded every debate beginning in 1925.After 1945, Vietnamese intellectuals either placed themselves under ruthless battlefield discipline or withdrew to private meditation. David Marr suggests that the new problems facing Vietnamese today make both of these approaches anachronistic. Whether the Vietnam Communist Party will allow citizens to subject received wisdom to critical debate, to formulate new explanations of reality, to test those explanations in practice, is the essential question lingering at the end of this study. 606 $aVietnam$xHistory$z1858-1945 606 $aVietnamese$zIntellectual life 606 $aIntellectuals$zVietnam 606 $aNationalism$zVietnam 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aVietnam$xHistory 615 0$aVietnamese 615 0$aIntellectuals 615 0$aNationalism 676 $a959.703 700 $aMarr$b David G.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$049082 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458011903321 996 $aVietnamese Tradition on Trial, 1920-1945$92409944 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00482oam 2200169z- 450 001 9910773260303321 035 $a(CKB)4920000002744327 035 $a(EXLCZ)994920000002744327 100 $a20240109c2013uuuu -u- - 101 0 $aeng 200 10$aEurope : space for transcultural existence? 210 $cUniversitätsverlag Göttingen 517 $aEurope 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910773260303321 996 $aEurope : space for transcultural existence$93664795 997 $aUNINA
