"Vietnam and the West is a smart, ambitious ... collection ... [that] manages to unearth nuanced historical nuggets complicating the internal/external binaries and domestic/foreign relationship perceptions of nearly all previous Vietnamese historical scholarship."-Miriam B. Lam, South East Asian Research (December 2012) "The rich interdisciplinary essays that make up this important volume fundamentally rethink the place of 'the West' as an imagined and real presence in the Vietnamese past and present. Their expansive chronological and topical range-from sixteenth-century Vietnamese Catholic literati to contemporary victims of Agent Orange-reveals the complex processes through which myriad translocal vernaculars have emerged in Vietnam over the last five hundred years. A splendid achievement."-Mark Philip Bradley, University of Chicago, author of Vietnam at War
