Passion, Betrayal, and Revolution in Colonial Saigon: The Memoirs of Bao Luong: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Passion, Betrayal, and Revolution in Colonial Saigon: The Memoirs of Bao Luong" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This is the incredible story of Bao Luong, Vietnams first female political prisoner. In 1927, when she was just 18, Bao Luong left her village home to join Ho Chi Minhs Revolutionary Youth League and fight both for national independence and for womens equality. A year later, she became embroiled in the Barbier Street murder, a crime in which unruly passion was mixed with revolutionary ardor. Weaving together Bao Luongs own memoir with excerpts from newspaper articles, family gossip, and official documents, this book by Bao Luongs niece takes us from rural life in the Mekong Delta to the bustle of colonial Saigon. It provides a rare snapshot of Vietnam in the first decades of the twentieth century and a compelling account of one womans struggle to make a place for herself in a world fraught with intense political intrigue.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The early life of Nguyen Trung Nguyet, the subject of this book, illustrates how important family and friends were to the spread of revolution in Vietnam. To bring her story to print, I have relied on family ties and networks of friends and colleagues. I could not have done it without their assistance and support.

Her children, Nguyen Minh Tri and Nguyen Ngoc Lan; her sisters Van Trang and Han Xuan (now deceased); and her nieces, nephew, and grandnephewTran Hong Thuan, Ho Dao, Ho Huu Triet, and Ho Huu Lucshared memoirs, articles, photographs, and, above all, reminiscences that brought a much-loved relative back to life.

I am grateful to Haydon Cherry, who scanned the entire Barbier Street case file; David Biggs, who researched the various locations mentioned in the text and drew the map; and Eric Jennings, who located a photograph of Nguyen Bao Toan. I also owe a debt of thanks to Lorraine Paterson, who sent a photograph of a ceremony held in front of Pham Hong Thais tomb that was very similar to the one in which Nguyen Trung Nguyet participated. Sophie Quinn-Judge supplied information about the Revolutionary Youth League in Guangzhou, and Peter Zinoman about prison life and terminology in colonial Vietnam.

I extend heartfelt thanks as well to Tran Bich Ngoc, Dao The Due, and Dao Hung for supplying visual and written materials, to the staff of the General Sciences Library in Ho Chi Minh City, and to the staff of the Centre darchives dOutre-mer, Aix-en-Provence, France.

The lively discussions during the workshop Telling Lives in Vietnam in May 2009 gave me much to think about as I wrote the life of Bao Luong (Nguyen Trung Nguyet). The comments of an anonymous reader for the University of California Press spurred me to reconsider some statements I had made in an earlier draft, and this greatly improved it.

I thank Reed Malcolm for providing valuable feedback and encouragement at various stages of the writing. I would also like to express my deep appreciation of the efforts of Elizabeth Berg and Polly Kummel to make the narrative that follows as seamless, clear, and readable as possible.

May Patrick, Andrew, and Matthew enjoy reading the story of an aunt they never met, a woman who was deeply conservative yet fearless, idealistic, stoic, and, above all, loving.
