Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important new study, Charles Keith explores the complex position of the Catholic Church in modern Vietnamese history. By demonstrating how French colonial rule allowed for the transformation of Catholic missions in Vietnam into broad and powerful economic and institutional structures, Keith discovers the ways race defined ecclesiastical and cultural prestige and control of resources and institutional authority. This, along with colonial rule itself, created a culture of religious life in which relationships between Vietnamese Catholics and European missionaries were less equal and more fractious than ever before. However, the colonial era also brought unprecedented ties between Vietnam and the transnational institutions and culture of global Catholicism, as Vatican reforms to create an independent national Church helped Vietnamese Catholics to reimagine and redefine their relationships to both missionary Catholicism and to colonial rule itself. Much like the myriad revolutionary ideologies and struggles in the name of the Vietnamese nation, this revolution in Vietnamese Catholic life was ultimately ambiguous, even contradictory: it established the foundations for an independent national Church, but it also polarized the place of the new Church in post-colonial Vietnamese politics and society and produced deep divisions between Vietnamese Catholics themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Using new and largely inaccessible Vietnamese sources as well as French, British, Canadian and American archives, Pierre Asselin sheds valuable light on Hanoi's path to war. Step by step the narrative makes Hanoi's revolutionary strategy from the end of the French Indochina War to the start of the Anti-American Resistance Struggle for Reunification and National Salvation (the Vietnam War) transparent. The book reveals how North Vietnamese leaders moved from a cautious policy emphasizing nonviolent political and diplomatic struggle to a far riskier pursuit of military victory"--
Download or read book Human Resource Development in Vietnam written by Hien Thi Tran and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-18 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite recent high GDP growth rates, Vietnam remains a developing country in need of developing human resources (HR) of both genders. This can be done through education, workplace training, corporate social responsibility, policies for gender equality, support for entrepreneurship, and other practices and policies. Yet, national human resource development (NHRD) is a relatively new concept in Vietnam. This edited volume highlights the importance of HR, HRD, and NHRD, enabling Vietnam to experience sustainable growth and become a modern industrial country. It examines the positive changes effected by HRD considering Vietnam’s unique historical, political, economic, and cultural contexts. This book offers scholars and practitioners an indigenous HRD approach and discusses implications for future research and practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the story of my life that was quite eventful. I recount it in twenty four letters telling the true stories that I was either the witness or the player leading to the defeat of my country to the communist due to personal ambitions or caprices. The happy ending for me and my family was our last minute evasion to the United States of America where the American Dream became the reality for us. It was an excellent story for the second and third Vietnamese American generations in their quest to know the reason why their fathers and grandfathers were here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multifaceted history of Ho Chi Minh’s climactic victory over French colonial might that foreshadowed America’s experience in Vietnam On May 7, 1954, when the bullets stopped and the air stilled in Dien Bien Phu, there was no doubt that Vietnam could fight a mighty colonial power and win. After nearly a decade of struggle, a nation forged in the crucible of war had achieved a victory undreamed of by any other national liberation movement. The Road to Dien Bien Phu tells the story of how Ho Chi Minh turned a ragtag guerrilla army into a modern fighting force capable of bringing down the formidable French army. Taking readers from the outbreak of fighting in 1945 to the epic battle at Dien Bien Phu, Christopher Goscha shows how Ho transformed Vietnam from a decentralized guerrilla state based in the countryside to a single-party communist state shaped by a specific form of “War Communism.” Goscha discusses how the Vietnamese operated both states through economics, trade, policing, information gathering, and communications technology. He challenges the wisdom of counterinsurgency methods developed by the French and still used by the Americans today, and explains why the First Indochina War was arguably the most brutal war of decolonization in the twentieth century, killing a million Vietnamese, most of them civilians. Panoramic in scope, The Road to Dien Bien Phu transforms our understanding of this conflict and the one the United States would later enter, and sheds new light on communist warfare and statecraft in East Asia today.

Book excerpt: About the Book: The third millennium of the Christian era came with wars, one against infidels and another on terrorism, which were more than enough for a miserable Vietnamese, Ngô Tôn-Long—former lecturer on pedagogy and philosophy at Dalat University, 1968–1975, born in the beginning of the Second World War, grown up during the French revived colonial war, and terminated at the end of the American anticommunist war. Born again “neither by might nor by power” and having lived his faith for thirty years now, he was moved to study scriptures ancient and not so ancient and has been enabled to have his studies printed (on demand)—a dozen or so of the titles are dedicated to the uprooted, displaced, and dispersed people like him as well as peoples like his—yet not so appropriately published that most of his old acquaintances scattered to North America actually know only of his death forty years ago. Being no native speaker of English, he had never thought of writing anything whatsoever in this language till the day he was planted in the capital Adelaide of South Australia. Neither religions nor theology had been of his studies; instead, it was mathematics and physics, pedagogy and philosophy. Better read no books than believe only one, he used to seriously study every of all the books that happened to fall into his hands or to run on to himself—the written whatsoever and the living whomsoever. Years ago, he was kept on an island of refuge in a time just enough for him to study the accusation bold and public “Christians and Jews are infidels; People of the Book, they have distorted their Scripture!” Twenty years of self-incarceration inside Adelaide assured him of his in-depth studies on the books of each people—the Holy 22 or 24 (scriptures) and the Holy 46 or 39 (of a dozen bibles) plus dozens of not-so-holy books. Then he was brought on the eagles’ wings—from a southeastern island of the old world—across the ocean Pacific and crossing both the International Time Line and the Equator at about a same night time (so that he could see nothing down there, Pacific or not) to some northwestern lands of the new world (of names like Angels and Real-Mount). There, in the spirit of Yeh-Vah, he was set down amidst very many bones that were indeed very dry, as they themselves acknowledged it, saying, “Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we are cut off.” They were actually eating and drinking and enjoying their death on the day of their independence from Yeh-Vah while he was standing on level 102 of the Empire State Building with a “Holy Scripture . . . comparable to the Bible . . . the Most Correct . . . containing the Fullness of the Everlasting Gospel.”
