With essays covering diverse topics, from seafood trade across the
Vietnam-China border, to street traders in Hanoi, to gold shops in
Ho Chi Minh City, Traders in Motion spans the fields of economic
and political anthropology, geography, and sociology to illuminate
how Vietnam's rapidly expanding market economy is formed and
transformed by everyday interactions among traders, suppliers,
customers, family members, neighbors, and officials. The
contributions shed light on the micropolitics of local-level
economic agency in the paradoxical context of Vietnam's socialist
orientation and its contemporary neoliberal economic and social
transformation. The essays examine how Vietnamese traders and
officials engage in on-the-ground contestations to define space,
promote or limit mobility, and establish borders, both physical and
conceptual. The contributors show how trading experiences shape
individuals' notions of self and personhood, not just as economic
actors, but also in terms of gender, region, and ethnicity. Traders
in Motion affords rich comparative insight into how markets form
and transform and what those changes mean. Contributors: Lisa
