Historical Dictionary of Vietnam (Volume 57) (Historical Dictionaries of Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East, 57) by Duiker William J. (PDF)

Description

Vietnam became part of French Indochina in 1887 and did not regain its independence again until after the Vietnam War. However, despite a relatively peaceful two decades the country experienced little economic growth because of conservative leadership policies. In an effort to change this stagnation, Vietnamese authorities have committed to economic liberalization and enacted structural reforms needed to modernize the economy and to produce more competitive, export-driven industries.The third edition of this dictionary focuses on the recent changes and leadership of Vietnam while giving due attention to the earlier kingdoms, the period of French Indochina, the wars for liberation, the Vietnam War, and much more. Hundreds of cross-referenced A to Z dictionary entries are included on political, economic, social and cultural aspects as well as the major cities and geographic features. This book also contains a chronology and introduction that traces Vietnam’s history, as well as a bibliography.

Editorial Reviews: From Booklist Besides updating entries, this new edition adds material on developments since the publication of the second edition, in 1998, as well as on premodern history and culture, and also attempts “to take note of perspectives from recent revisionist scholarship on Vietnam’s history.” Another new feature is the use of Vietnamese diacritical marks.
