This book offers an analysis of the inner workings of the Vietnamese "memory machine." In four case studies it shows which tools the Vietnamese one-party state uses to disseminate a "correct" outlook on history, manage the representation of the past and suppress dissenting historical views. While emphasizing the role of the Vietnamese Communist Party in memory-making the study also highlights that in the last two decades non-state "agents of remembrance" have increasingly managed to shape the commemoration of the past. The book is based on ten years of research including a close reading of Party documents, history textbooks, official histories and memories of cadres, and visits to numerous sites of memories in Vietnam such as museums, monuments, and war cemeteries.
