Essays that demonstrate ways to "read" the pasts of Vietnam through detailed analyses of its art, chronicles, legends, documents, and monuments. The book's many voices undermine the idea of a single Vietnamese past. All the essays, while varied, are connected by their common concerns with language and text.
This effort deserves high praise, for it has widened the scope of Vietnamese historiography and borne testimony to the depth and diversity of Vietnamese studies.
