Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This study demonstrates how Indians with French citizenship were able through their stay in Indochina to have some say in shaping their position within the French colonial empire, and how in turn they made then' mark on Indochina itself. Known as ‘renouncers’, they gained their citizenship by renoimcing their personal laws in order to to be judged by the French civil code. Mainly residing in Cochinchina, they served primarily as functionaries in the French colonial administration, and spent the early decades of their stay battling to secure recognition of their electoral and civil rights in the colony. Their presence in Indochina in turn had an important influence on the ways in which the peoples of Indochina experienced and assessed French colonialism.

  • Nationalism in the Republic of Vietnam (1954-1963)
    Contested Identities: Nationalism in the Republic of Vietnam (1954-1963) By Nu-Anh Tran A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Peter Zinoman, Chair Professor Penny Edwards Professor Kerwin Klein Spring 2013 Contested Identities: Nationalism in the Republic of Vietnam (1954-1963) Copyrighted 2013 by Nu-Anh Tran Abstract Contested Identities: Nationalism in the Republic of Vietnam (1954-1963) by Nu-Anh Tran Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Peter Zinoman, Chair This dissertation presents the first full-length study of anticommunist nationalism in the Republic of Vietnam (RVN, 1954-1975, or South Vietnam). Specifically, it focuses on state nationalism during the rule of Ngô Đình Diệm (1954-1963). Conventional research depicts the Vietnam War (1954-1975) as a conflict between foreign intervention and indigenous nationalism, but this interpretation conflates Vietnamese communism with Vietnamese nationalism and dismisses the possibility of nationalism in the southern Republic. Using archival and published sources from the RVN, this study demonstrates that the southern regime possessed a dynamic nationalist culture and argues that the war was part of a much longer struggle between communist and anticommunist nationalists. To emphasize the plural and factional character of nationalism in partitioned Vietnam, the study proposes the concept of contested nationalism as an alternative framework for understanding the war. The dissertation examines four elements of nationalism in the Republic: anticommunism, anticolonialism, antifeudalism, and Vietnamese ethnic identity. The first chapter argues that the government and northern émigré intellectuals established anticommunism as the central tenet of Republican nationalism during the Denounce the Communists Campaign, launched in 1955.

  • NGUYỄN-CATHOLIC HISTORY (1770S-1890S) and the GESTATION of VIETNAMESE CATHOLIC NATIONAL IDENTITY
    NGUYỄN-CATHOLIC HISTORY (1770s-1890s) AND THE GESTATION OF VIETNAMESE CATHOLIC NATIONAL IDENTITY A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Lan Anh Ngo, M.A. Washington, DC March 2, 2016 Copyright 2016 by Lan Anh Ngo All Rights Reserved ii NGUYỄN-CATHOLIC HISTORY (1770s-1890s) AND THE GESTATION OF VIETNAMESE CATHOLIC NATIONAL IDENTITY Lan Anh Ngo, M. A. Thesis Advisors: Peter C. Phan, Ph.D., and James A. Millward, Ph.D. ABSTRACT The historiography of Vietnamese Catholicism has tended not only towards a polemical French-centric narrative but also one in which the local converts rarely have a voice. Nguyễn’s dynastic chroniclers, in the first wave of scholarship, portrayed Catholics as instigators of rebellions and followers of a so-called heterodox cult. In the late nineteenth century, French missionary historians often patronizingly cast Vietnamese Catholics as passive recipients of the Catholic faith in an internally united and supportive community created by the sacrifices of missionaries in a hostile external world. Subsequently, mainstream scholars, journalists and popular writers of the Cold War era, along with Vietnamese state-sponsored researchers after 1975, were interested in proving the collaborative role of Catholicism in the period of European expansionism. Current historiography, spearheaded by scholars trained at Australian National University in the 1980s, has gradually moved from a binary polemic to a more nuanced view of the past through the perspective of regionalism. And the research from this local-centered angle no longer views Catholicism as a separate, external force but as an integral part of nation-building.

    Vĩnh Đào open letter to young Vietnamese … who wonder about their origin (new edition) . Vĩnh Đào Open Letter to Young Vietnamese ... Who Wonder about their Origin New edition Adapted and translated from the French original title: "Lettre ouverte aux jeunes Vietnamiens… qui s'interrogent sur leurs origines" Translated by Phạm Trương Long Edited by Huỳnh Thị Kiều Dung lamson ©2017. Éditions lamson ISBN : 978-2-9507707-3-8 To Émeline Nhã Vi, Élodie Lan Thi, Alain Vinh, This book is written for the generation of young Vietnamese who either grew up abroad or were born there. Guiding the reader through different stages of the long but fascinating history of the Vietnamese nation, it introduces the country and its people, as well as the main characteristics of its society and culture. The reader will make some surprising discoveries. For example, where did the Vietnamese language come from? Or better, he will learn that since the 11th century, the Vietnamese monarchy has recruited all their top civil servants through competitive exams, which gave the ancient Vietnamese society a surprisingly democratic character. By bringing them closer to their country's history and culture, this "Open Letter" invites the young Vietnamese to reflect on the problem of integration and of respect for their cultural heritage. __________________________ VINH DAO holds a French Doctorat ès lettres from the University of Paris IV-Sorbonne, and is the author of a doctoral thesis on André Malraux. A former economist with the National Bank of Vietnam in Saigon, he has lived in France since 1983. He retired from French public administration in 2008.

For 160 years, after numerous complicated events, including serious military confrontation, there exists again a phase of endless exchange of notes. Compared with the Malvinas/Falkland affair, the Hoàng Sa - Trường Sa/Xisha- Nansha (the Paracels and the Spratly) conflict seems more explosive because it involves states differing in size and, primarily, in their position which must not be underesti- mated: all the more so as the conflict is in a highly strategic region where major geo-political stakes are involved.

  • Contested Nationalism: Ethnic Identity and State Power in the Republic of Vietnam, 1954-1963 by Nu-Anh Tran
    ISSI GRADUATE FELLOWS WORKING PAPER SERIES 2010-2011.56 Contested Nationalism: Ethnic Identity and State Power in the Republic of Vietnam, 1954-1963 by Nu-Anh Tran Department of History University of California, Berkeley January 3, 2012 Nu-Anh Tran Department of History University of California, Berkeley [email protected] The conventional scholarship depicts noncommunist nationalism in the Republic of Vietnam (RVN, or South Vietnam, 1954-1963) as weak or inauthentic, especially when compared to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV, or North Vietnam). But such arguments assume that Vietnamese nationalism was singular and unitary. This essay reinterprets wartime nationalism by proposing the concept of contested nationalism. Specifically, it examines how the Republican government combined anticommunism with Vietnamese cultural identity in its cultural policy. Geography education, new cultural institutions, and historical preservation helped promoted the RVN as the exclusive embodiment of Vietnamese culture and challenged the DRV’s legitimacy.
