Like most societies Vietnam has seen marked changes in family
structures and dynamics this century. For Vietnam however these
changes have been especially radical. After decades of French
acculturation the 1940s brought sweeping economic changes and a
move away from collectivism. Perhaps because of Vietnam's long
isolation from the late 1970s into the early 1990s, very little has
been written on the Vietnamese family. This text provides an
examination of the Vietnamese family focusing on two fundamental
relationships - husband-wife and parent-children - within their
wider social and historical context. The author explores how and
why marital partners are chosen; individual's domains within the
family; reproduction and birth control; son preference; ancestor
worship; and the role of the state. As such, the study will be of
interest not just to sociologists but also to those scholars
looking to understand the current social transformation of Vietnam.
