Description
John DeFrancis explores the intricate relationship between colonialism and language policy in Vietnam, illuminating how these factors have shaped the socio-linguistic landscape of the region. His analysis delves into the historical context of foreign rule and its lasting impact on language use, identity, and cultural expression among the Vietnamese people.
Through a comprehensive examination of language policies implemented during colonial periods, DeFrancis highlights the tensions and transformations that arose as a result of these policies. The work serves not only as an academic inquiry but also as a vital resource for understanding the lingering effects of colonialism on contemporary language dynamics in Vietnam.
