Frontmatter -- CONTENTS -- Preface -- Introduction -- The Legend of Ông Dóng from the Text to the Field -- The Vietnamization of the Cham Deity Pô Nagar -- Inscriptions from the Tenth to Fourteenth Centuries Recently Discovered in Việt Nam -- Voices Within and Without: Tales from Stone and Paper about Đỗ Anh Vũ (1114–1159) -- Rethinking Vietnamese Buddhist History: Is the Thiền Uyển Tap Arih a 'Transmission of the Lamp" Text? -- Chung-hsing and Cheng-t'ung in Texts of and on Sixteenth-Century Việt Nam -- Curious Relations: Jesuit Perceptions of the Vietnamese -- Central Vietnam's Trading World in the Eighteenth Century as Seen in Lê Quý Đôn's "Frontier Chronicles" -- Printing and Power: Vietnamese Debates over Women's Place in Society, 1918-1934 -- "Elegant Females" Re-Encountered: From Tokai Sanshi's Kajin No Kigû to Phan Chau Trinh js Giai Nhân Kỳ Ngộ Diên Ca -- What is to be Done? Hô Chi Minh's Đuòng Kách Mễnh' -- Hô Chi Minh's Independence Declaration -- The History of Resistance and the Resistance to History in Post- Colonial Constructions of the Past -- Telling Life: An Approach to the Official Biography of Tôn Đuc Thắng -- Monumental Ambiguity: The State Commemoration of Hô Chi Minh
Summary: Essays that demonstrate ways to "read" the pasts of Vietnam through detailed analyses of its art, chronicles, legends, documents, and monuments. The book's many voices undermine the idea of a single Vietnamese past. All the essays, while varied, are connected by their common concerns with language and text.
