A History of the Vietnamese
The history of Vietnam prior to the nineteenth century is rarely examined in
any detail. In this groundbreaking work, K. W. Taylor takes up this challenge,
addressing a wide array of topics from the earliest times to the present day
–
including language, literature, religion, and warfare
–
and themes
–
including
Sino-Vietnamese relations, the interactions of the peoples of different regions
within the country, and the various forms of government adopted by the
Vietnamese throughout their history.
A History of the Vietnamese
is based on
primary source materials, combining a comprehensive narrative with an analysis
which endeavors to see the Vietnamese past through the eyes of those who
lived it. Taylor questions long-standing stereotypes and clichés about Vietnam,
drawing attention to sharp discontinuities in the Vietnamese past. Fluently
written and accessible to all readers, this highly original contribution to the
study of Southeast Asia is a landmark text for all students and scholars
of Vietnam.
