This book is an ethnographic case study, based on first hand
observation, of family businesses in the northern Vietnamese
village of Ninh Hie p along the Red River Delta, which became a
major hub for textiles in the wake of the country's shift towards
market socialism. The author explores how the traders experience,
negotiate and react to a marketization process that is markedly
shaped by the state's morally ambivalent governance, and which can
be thus characterised as an admixture of socialist and neoliberal
ideologies. How are traders shaping the political economy of
Vietnam? How has the labour force changed as textile-handling has
become an increasingly profitable undertaking? Horat explores the
relationships between traders and local authorities, as well as
changing ideas of masculinity and femininity. Focusing on the
redevelopment of the market landscape and the increasing share of
private ownership that have given rise to great uncertainty, this
book provides a we ll-timed inquiry into current debates of
economic development in a uniquely shaped market environment.
