Literature and Nation-Building in Vietnam: The Invisibilization of the Indians: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Literature and Nation-Building in Vietnam: The Invisibilization of the Indians" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book analyzes why Indians have been made invisible in Vietnamese society and historiography. It argues that their invisibilization originates in the formulaic metaphor Vietnamese nation-makers have used to portray Indians in their quest for national sovereignty and socialism.

The book presents a complex view on colonial legacies in Vietnam which suggests that Vietnamese nation-makers associate Indians with colonialism and capitalism, ultimately viewed as non-socialist and non-hegemonic state structures. Furthermore, the book demonstrates how Vietnamese nation-makers achieve the overriding socialist and independent goal of historically differing Indians from Vietnamese nationalisms whilst simultaneously making them invisible. In addition to primary Vietnamese texts which demonstrate the performativity of language and the Vietnamese traditional belief in writing as a sharp weapon for national and class struggles, the author utilizes interviews with Indians and Vietnamese authorities in charge of managing the Indian population.

Bringing to the surface the ways through which Vietnamese intellectuals have invisibilized the Indians for the sake of the visibility of national hegemony and prosperity, this book will be of interest to scholars of Southeast Asian Studies and South Asian Studies, Vietnam Studies, including nation-building, literature, and language.

The Indians, a small and marginalized group in Vietnam, include descendants of those who, since the second half of the nineteenth century, migrated from French-British India to then IndochinaVietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Although the Indian population has been in Vietnam for generations and has participated in the economic and political revolutions of Vietnam, they have usually been perceived very negatively by ethnic Vietnamese as k ht mu [bloodsucking beings]unwelcome migrants who are materialistic, exploitative, and, most of all, foreign. Many Indians have become Vietnamese citizens. However, they do not belong to any categorized ethnic group in Vietnam. In other words, ethnic Indians have not been categorized as one of the ethnic minorities since the socialist Vietnamese governments systemizations of the ethnic composition of Vietnam, initiated in 1958. They do not fit within the term Vietnamese, which is used in the expression 54 Vietnamese nationalities (54 dn tc Vit Nam).
