This study of intellectuals and their cosmopolitan life
trajectories is based on anthropological and historical research in
Vietnam and India, two great Asian societies with contrasting
experiences of empire, decolonisation and the rise and fall of the
twentieth-century socialist world system. Building on the author's
long-standing research experience in India and on remarkable family
narratives collected during fieldwork in northern Vietnam, the book
deals with epic events and complex social transformations from a
perspective that emphasizes the personal and the familial. Its
central theme is the extraordinary mobility of intelligentsia
lives. The author explores the role of the intellectual in the
economic, social and cultural transformation of the post-colonial
world through in-depth ethnographic fieldwork methods. In
identifying parallels and contrasts between Hanoi's 'socialist
moderns' and the family and career experiences of their Indian
counterparts, the book makes a distinctive contribution to the
study of colonial, socialist and post-socialist Asia.
