Description: Imagined Ancestries Of Vietnamese Communism : Ton Duc Thang And The Politics Of History And Memory, Hardcover by Giebel, Christoph, ISBN 0295984287, ISBN-13 9780295984285, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Vietnamese communist leader Ton Duc Thang, imprisoned by French in 1929 and freed by the Vietnamese Communist Revolution of 1945, went on to hold a number of prestigious positions in the independent Vietnamese state while exerting little influence on policy-making nor exhibiting much desire to gain such influence. In explaining this apparent paradox, Giebel (international studies and history, U. of Washington) investigates Ton Duc Thang's biography as a window into how the communists sought to establish imagined ancestries, or origins, for the party's history. He focuses on Ton's alleged participation in the 1919 French navy mutiny in the Black Sea, which helped end anti-Bolshevik intervention in Russia, his organization of a "secret labor union" in the early 1920s, and the alleged leadership of a 1925 strike in the Saigon navy shipyard that is often portrayed as the first political strike in Vietnam. Although he is interested in the truth of the history of these incidents, Giebel is more concerned with showing how stories about them were constructed and contested by various elements within the party in support of shifting ideologies and interests.
