“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.” Samuel Moyn, Yale University
“Pham brilliantly shows how political thinking that emerges from political struggle can profoundly disrupt, diversify, and transform the field of political theory itself.” Nick Bromell, author of The Powers of Dignity: The Black Political Philosophy of Frederick Douglass
"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. Novel and compelling."
Sophie Quinn-Judge, author of Ho Chi Minh: The Missing Years
“In this vitally important book, 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.” Doug Thompson, University of South Carolina
“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. An astounding book.” Kevin Duong, University of Virginia
“A profoundly original study of an underserved group of thinkers... This is comparative political theory at its finest.” Inder Marwah, McMaster University

Many thanks. I would love to and am trying to figure out how. If you have any ideas, please let me know. I'm looking around for Vietnamese publishing houses to translate it. I'll be in VN in Jan to give a talk in HCMC
I will launch my book, The Architects of Dignity: Vietnamese Visions of Decolonization (Oxford UP), in Amsterdam at SPUI25 on October 28 at 20:00. It's open to the public. Register here!
