During the French colonial period (1900-1945), Vietnamese peasants
wrote vigorously about the effects of French policies on their
living conditions. The vast majority of their writings were
censored or contradicted by the published works of French and
Vietnamese officials, and none is currenty in print. Ngo Vinh Long
presents a realistic portrait of the Vietnamese determination and
resiliency that brought down both the French and the American
regimes. He describes the effects of French land policy on the
peasants and the resulting problems in tenant farming and
sharecropping, as well as peasant reaction to taxes, tax
collections, usury, government agarian credit programs, commerce,
and industry. He also translates previously unavailable texts that
detail the emotions of the Vietnamese people with regard to the
French occupation. For the Morningside Edition, Dr. Long has
written a new preface in which he describes new scholarship and
changes during the last fifteen years.
