Devaluation without Dispossession
Building on ethnographic materials from a state-led land acquisition scheme for the revetment of Cần Thơ River in southern Vietnam, this article examines a phenomenon termed “devaluation without dispossession,” an economic loss to landholders that remains inadequately addressed in not only national legal frameworks but also internationally accepted guidelines on how best to compensate for land acquisition. When the value of landholders' assets su…

Epidemic Politics in Contemporary Vietnam
Rule by glorification
By bestowing honours, states produce subjects. But what kind of subjects are created if those honoured do not seek state honours, because they find the honours not worth the responsibilities they have to shoulder, or because they do not internalise the state's values that the honours embody? Building on ethnographic materials from Vietnam, this article explores how some who receive honours are "grateful coerced subjects" on whom state honours are…
Reluctant Compliance and Collaborative Fiscal Disobedience
For decades, the Vietnamese socialist state has failed to enforce taxation on local Hmong in Đồng Văn, a vast karst plateau in the country’s northern upland region. A recent rise in local tax revenue from Value-Added Tax (VAT) is optimistically perceived by state authorities as a turning point in the fiscal relationship between the state and the evasive population. This article shows that what appears to be a ‘success’ of taxation is the result o…
Introduction. An Anthropology of Intellectual Exchange
Dialogues, encounters and interactions through which particular ways of knowing, understanding and thinking about the world are forged lie at the centre of anthropology. Such ‘intellectual exchange’ is also central to anthropologists’ own professional practice: from their interactions with research participants and modes of pedagogy to their engagements with each other and scholars from adjacent disciplines. This collection of essays explores how…
Unsettled Frontiers
Fishers, Monks and Cadres
The authors of scholarly works on past and present Vietnam have written extensively about the troubled relation between the state and religion. Yet Edyta Roszko’s book is perhaps the first that exa
Centralised–decentralisation
Building on ethnographic fieldwork in Vietnam’s northern upland region, this article uses the case of state programs of poverty reduction for the country’s ethnic minorities to add insights to scholarly understandings of the composition and workings of socialist states in today’s Asia. Scholars have widely rejected the idea of Asian socialist states as monolithic, totalising entities in favour of seeing those states as internally divided. However…
"Extremely Rightful" Resistance
Building on ethnographic fieldwork in a northern Vietnamese village, this article explores a rural protest against the appropriation of arable land for a development project. The focus is on villagers' collective memories of an exceptional protest staged in 2010. The aim of the protest was to pressure local district authorities to increase the compensation villagers agreed to take three years earlier. While originally accepting compensation when …
Negotiating Uncertainty in Late-Socialist Vietnam
This article makes a case for Vietnam as a distinctive example of late- and post-socialist marketization, a painful experience that has brought widespread immiseration to rural societies within and beyond Asia. Building on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in a northern Vietnamese village, I explore a hitherto under-researched aspect of Vietnam's massive social and economic transformation in the 30 years since the onset of market transition or Ren…
Actively cautious
This article uses the case of a northern Vietnamese village to explore how rural households in Asia have negotiated both the opportunities and challenges of marketization and capitalist industrial modernity. I focus on the Vietnamese state’s push to marketize village livelihoods by means of mass establishment of industrial parks comprising largely Foreign Direct Investment factories in the countryside. The state expects young villagers to abandon…
