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 Vietnam throughout its history. A History of the Vietnamese is based on primary source materials, combining a comprehensive narrative with an analysis which endeavours 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 Vietnam's past. Fluently written and accessible to all readers, this highly original contribution to the study of South-East Asia is a landmark text for all students and scholars of Vietnam.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67392440238125,"sku":"21649","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_ea50ca29-f05c-43aa-a1d7-8f2c3bf8bd8f.jpg?v=1787363202","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/history-of-the-vietnamese","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
