Painters in Hanoi
Painting has played a significant role in modern Vietnam. Postage stamps, billboards, and annual national exhibitions attest to its fundamental place in a country where painters may be hailed as national heroes and include among their number fervent nationalists, propagandists, even dissidents. As Vietnamese painting has gained prominence in the contemporary transnational art circuits of Southeast Asia, many artists have become millionaires, yet Vietnamese painting is generally overlooked in art history surveys of the region. Nora Taylor sets out here to change that. Painters in Hanoi engages with twentieth-century Vietnam through its artists and their works, providing a new angle on a count...
The Sacred Willow
A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, Duong Van Mai Elliott's The Sacred Willow illuminates recent Vietnamese history by weaving together the stories of the lives of four generations of her family. Beginning with her great-grandfather, who rose from rural poverty to become an influential landowner, and continuing to the present, Mai Elliott traces her family's journey through an era of tumultuous change. She tells us of childhood hours in her grandmother's silk shop, and of hiding while French troops torched her village, watching while blossoms torn by fire from the trees flutter "like hundreds of butterflies" overhead. She makes clear the agonizing choices that split Vietnamese families: her e...
Combat in the Sky
Fought in the skies over North Vietnam, the air war between Vietnamese People’s Air Force (VNPAF) and U.S. airpower lasted nearly eight years with hundreds of thousands of combat missions carried out and nearly four hundred dogfights. Combat in the Sky: Airpower and the Defense of North Vietnam, 1965-1973 is the English edition of the definitive North Vietnamese work on Vietnam War airpower. In this book, Đồng Sỹ Hưng depicts the relevant events in chronological order from the first air battles such as the one at Dragon’s Jaw Bridge (April 1965), to the Linebacker II Campaign—or as it was known by the North Vietnamese—the ”Điện Biên Phủ in the Air Campaign” (December ...
Asia's Great Lineage
The Mac Dynasty spanned 150 years and encompassed several nations. In Vietnam, the M c Dynasty's founder, Emperor M c ng Dung, was not a traitor as the LE Dynasty (1009-1225) claimed. Rather, M c ng Dung seized power due to the corruption of the LE Dynasty. Author Quang Hong Mac, a descendant of Mac's family, is now telling the world of his great and historic surname. But his book is not only about the ancient past, it also tells of the author's courageous survival during the Vietnam War and its aftermath. Settling into a new life in the United States after escaping North Vietnamese imprisonment following the war, the author began researching his ancestors who dated back to 770 B.C., so they would never be forgotten. He spent four decades collecting documents and pictures, and speaking to relatives and witnesses. The Mac family's contributions spanned many eras and also impacted the history of China and Korea. The Mac's descendants succeeded as scholars, and were pioneers in the Mekong Delta at Ha Tien, establishing a dynasty that ruled Vietnam for 150 years.
Eight years of immediate technical assistance activities strengthening emergency preparedness for HPAI in Viet Nam
The history of the battle to control HPAI in Viet Nam is relatively short but within the past 10 years there have been many insights developed, as well as some twists and turns in the road to the current level of success. As the concerted HPAI effort supported by FAO is coming to an end, albeit to be adapted into a broader One Health approach to animal health and zoonotic diseases, it was considered timely that a retrospective overview of the programme be produced to capture key elements and lessons that have arisen. A key adjunct for this retrospective is the FAO document ‘Lessons from HPAI technical stocktaking of outputs, outcomes, best practices and lessons learned from the fight again...
