AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Compiled by the author in conjunction with members of the Federal Research Division of the Library of Congress, this study presents a broad overview of Vietnamese ethnography from its early history (ca. 2879 B.C.) to approximately 1989, with a strong emphasis on the period of 1975-1989 during which time Vietnam, as a newly reunified nation struggled to develop a postwqr identity. Major ethnographic topics discussed in this work are early culture history, Vietnamese society and its environment, the economy, government and politics, and national security. A list of communitst party leaders in the 1980s is presented in Appendix B, p. 325 ff.
