In the mid-1980s, a radio program with a compelling spiritual
message was accidentally received by listeners in Vietnam's remote
northern highlands. The Protestant evangelical communication had
been created in the Hmong language by the Far East Broadcasting
Company specifically for war refugees in Laos. The Vietnamese Hmong
related the content to their traditional expectation of salvation
by a Hmong messiah-king who would lead them out of subjugation, and
they appropriated the evangelical message for themselves. Today,
the New Way (Kev Cai Tshiab) has some three hundred thousand
followers in Vietnam. Tam T. T. Ngo reveals the complex politics of
religion and ethnic relations in contemporary Vietnam and
illuminates the dynamic interplay between local and global forces,
socialist and postsocialist state building, cold war and post-cold
war antagonisms, Hmong transnationalism, and U.S.-led evangelical
expansionism.
