Originally published in 2002 Culture, Ritual and Revolution in
Vietnam is a study of the history and consequences of the
revolutionary campaign to transform culture and ritual in northern
Vietnam. Based upon official documents and several years of field
research in Thinh Liet Commune, a Red River delta community near
Hanoi, it provides the first detailed account of the nature of
revolutionary cultural reforms in Vietnam as how those reforms
continue to animate contemporary socio-cultural life. The study
examines the key foci of revolutionary cultural change, such as the
articulation of a new moral system, the attempts to eliminate
explanations that invoke supernatural causality, the creation of
socialist weddings and funerals, and the development of innovation
ties to commemorate war dead. By examining debates over culture,
ritual, and morality that have emerged between residents, notably
between men and women, and party members and non-party members, the
study shows how ideas and values that preceded the revolution have
entered into a creative dialogue with those that were articulated
by the revolution, and how this has produced an innovative set of
ritual and other practices, particularly since the relaxation of
the cultural reform agenda in the post-1986 period.
