Recenzii
This is an original book that makes important contributions to Vietnamese studies and will broaden the minds of both scholars of Vietnam and other students of decolonization. I really enjoyed reading something that is so novel and compelling.
Pham's The Architects of Dignity demonstrates how poorly we've understood shame under colonialism. Neither a sign of internalized inferiority nor a wound of assimilation, Pham shows us something stranger and truer in Vietnam: shame could be a deliberate instrument of self-assertion, the manifestation of a people's wish to surpass their colonial condition. An astounding book.
In this vitally important book, Kevin Pham smashes two-dimensional Anglophone pictures of "Vietnam" as simply a war, skillfully bringing to life the vast richness and originality of twentieth-century Vietnamese political ideas and the diverse thinkers who sought to motivate national independence through a sense of collective dignity.
The Architects of Dignity is a landmark exposition of Vietnamese anticolonialism, tracing a vivid intellectual history of modern Vietnamese political thought. Pham beautifully captures how pioneering figures such as Phan Bá»i Châu, Há» Chí Minh, and Phan Chu Trinh appealed, counter-intuitively, to national shame as a spur to anticolonial resistance and to the reclamation of collective dignity. A profoundly original study of an underserved group of thinkers, this book elegantly recovers the granular nuance of its protagonists' arguments and situates them in the wider ideological constellation of anticolonial politics. This is comparative political theory at its finest.
After generations of blinkered approaches and insular canons, Kevin Pham adds tremendously to the globalization of our perspective on the most pivotal themes of political theory. This remarkable study of anticolonial Vietnamese intellectuals shows that how they conceptualized dignity mattered for their cause and time-but also that their arguments remain worthwhile for anyone thinking about emancipation in the modern world.
The Architects of Dignity rigorously mines more than a century of Vietnamese anti-colonial thinking to bring to light a distinctively Vietnamese tradition of political theorizing, one that asserts the importance of particular affects - collective dignity, indignation, and shame - in both revolutionary action and post-colonial nation-building. Pham brilliantly shows how political thinking that emerges from political struggle can profoundly disrupt, diversify, and transform the field of political theory itself.
