Abstract
Vietnam has never been more global. The movement of people, ideas, practices, and institutions into and out of the country has resulted in extensive transnational networks and global fields of exchange. Through fine-grained ethnographic analyses, this book examines how these processes of economic and social transformation affect individual and communal lives. The contributors also explore how Vietnamese today navigate increasingly translocal lifeworlds characterized by ever more complex mobility trajectories, economic systems and networks, and communities of practice.
