Studying Republican Vietnam: Issues, Challenges, and Prospects
Interest in Republican Vietnam, a broad period that extends through the 20th century and beyond, is recently expanding due to a combination of newly available sources and the emergence of a younger generation of scholars less shackled by previous political biases. In this new scholarship, the conflicts between and within North and South Vietnam were at the core civil wars whose origins can be traced back to the 1920s’ clashes in colonial Vietnam among republican, communist, monarchist and other ideas. This conference explores issues related to the study of Republican Vietnam, from the spread of republican ideas to French Indochina at the turn of the century to the memories of the RVN among the diaspora and the resurgence of Republican values in Vietnam today, and everything in between.
