The book reveals the dynamism and diversity of Western thought in individual literary texts, as well as among the authors themselves. The volume considers how writers and their texts engaged with issues that are socially, culturally, politically, and philosophically significant to Vietnam and beyond, past and present. This approach to South Vietnam?s literary and journalistic tradition enables an alternative plural, inclusive view of the significance of these texts, which are shown to be neither exclusively anti-Communist nor ?bourgeois individualist? (cá nhân ti?u t? s?n), as they have so often been interpreted both in and outside of Vietnam. Such an interpretation problematically retains the marginal position of South Vietnam?s literature in mainstream Vietnamese literature, and in the literatures of the host countries where these Vietnamese authors have migrated, settled, and continued to write following the 'Fall of Saigon'. This volume presents itself as a key text for those studying Asian and postcolonial literatures, as well as scholars in the humanities researching Vietnam ? its history, politics, society, and culture. . 410 0$aGlobal Vietnam: Across Time, Space and Community,$x2731-7560 606 $aMass media and culture 606 $aOriental literature 606 $aEthnology$zAsia 606 $aCulture 606 $aJournalism 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aMedia Culture 606 $aAsian Literature 606 $aAsian Culture 606 $aJournalism 606 $aPhilosophy 615 0$aMass media and culture. 615 0$aOriental literature. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aJournalism. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 14$aMedia Culture. 615 24$aAsian Literature. 615 24$aAsian Culture. 615 24$aJournalism. 615 24$aPhilosophy. 676 $a302.23 700 $aEngelbert$b Thomas$01372609 701 $aPham$b Chi P$01372610 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910734883903321 996 $aReading South Vietnam's Writers$93403522 997 $aUNINA
