The unimagined community proposes a reexamination of the Vietnam
War from a perspective that has been largely excluded from
historical accounts of the conflict, that of the South Vietnamese.
Challenging the conventional view that the war was a struggle
between the Vietnamese people and US imperialism, the study
presents a wide-ranging investigation of South Vietnamese culture,
from political philosophy and psychological warfare to popular
culture and film. Beginning with a genealogy of the concept of a
Vietnamese "culture," as the latter emerged during the colonial
period, the book concludes with a reflection on the rise of popular
culture during the American intervention. Reexamining the war from
the South Vietnamese perspective, The unimagined community pursues
the provocative thesis that the conflict, in this early stage, was
not an anti-communist crusade, but a struggle between two competing
versions of anticolonial communism. -- .
