This text traces the history of the fabric of Hanoi from its origins 1000 years ago. It examines how the shape of the city reflects changing political, cultural and economic conditions over a millennium of intermittent warfare and waves of cultural change and migration. Drawing on his experience as heritage advisor, the author looks at the challenges facing those who seek to preserve the best features of Hanoi’s architecture and streetscapes, while improving the living conditions of its residents.

In this book, the author marshals evidence to support an arena-specific approach towards viewing Vietnam’s state-society relations. In practice, the Vietnamese party-state’s relations with society vary from the hard and uncompromising state, with the bureaucracy getting its way, to society’s ability to negotiate the state’s boundaries and regimes to make them less harsh. Any analysis of Vietnam’s state-society relations needs to recognize and demonstrate both elements of dominance and accommodation, as well as specify the context in which either or both are seen.

For many Westerners, Hanoi evokes memories only of war and bitter loss. But Hanoi is much more than the capital of Vietnamese communism. Hanoi is today a thriving urban center with a rich history all its own. Georges Boudarel and Nguyen Van Ky paint a vivid portrait of a city that is now awakening to the modern era. Together they reveal Hanoi in its myriad facets, from the aromas of its traditional cuisine to its destruction in wartime to the modern era of motorcycles and movie theaters.

She was determined to understand the foe that had troubled America’s leaders in Washington since the end of World War II. With an eye toward history and a recognition of the significance of her journey, McEldowney documented her experiences in the journal rep
