Sinopsis
ReviewThe story of this work is a curious one
embodying magic, religious fanaticism, protective
amulets, healing, nationalist politics, and other
elements too numerous to mention...The
author's account is a fascinating one...The most
comprehensive account that could have been
written about these arcane, fiercely local, and
rarely consistent sects of the Mekong delta. (P.
J. Honey Asian Affairs )An exceptionally
perceptive and well-written account of
millenarianism in south Vietnam. The work fills a
gaping void in our understanding of the
complexity of rural society in that region and of
the strengths and weaknesses of the sectarian
movement that posed the most important challenge
to the communist revolutionaries in that area.
Tai is uniquely qualified for the demanding task
of analyzing the hitherto obscure origins and
development of perhaps the most important
socioreligious movement in modern south
Vietnamese history, as well as the reasons for
its political failure...This book is an
outstanding contribution to the growing
literature on the nature of the peasantry in the
Third World, as well as to crucial but little
understood dimensions of Vietnam's modern
revolution. (Choice )Pioneering. (M. Sarkisyanz
Journal of Asian History )
