About this book

Post-Mandarin offers an engaging look at a cohort of Vietnamese intellectuals who adopted European fields of knowledge, a new Romanized alphabet, and print media—all of which were foreign and illegible to their fathers. This new generation of intellectuals established Vietnam’s modern anticolonial literature.

Reviews

—Christopher GoGwilt:
Post-Mandarin is a rich, rewarding, and ground-breaking study of a key moment in the development of modern Vietnamese literature.

—Lisa Lowe:
“A lucid, well-conceived, and elegantly written monograph that presents a literary history and analysis of the “post-mandarin” aesthetic modernism in colonial Vietnam, rethinking modernity alongside, yet beyond, the customary European model.”
