Print and Power - Confucianism, Communism, and Buddhism in the Making of Modern Vietnam

Klappentext "An illuminating and courageous book: it not only provides a fresh and detailed examination of the importance of print and its audience in the formation of a modern state, but also questions many of the general and often essentialist assumptions about modern historical developments in Asia generally and Vietnam in particular." - Society for the History of Authorship, Reading, and Publishing "An essential starting point for what one hopes will be a fundamental reconsideration of the multiple and globally inflected ways in which the Vietnamese and other imperial subjects approached colonialism and modernity." - American Historical Review"
