Summary:"Marked changes in family structures and dynamics have been seen in most societies this century, often as part of wider social transformations. Family changes were especially radical in a few countries where new Marxist regimes sought to institute the "socialist family" as a cornerstone of their revolution. Here, arguably the transformation of the family was as important as the collectivization of property and labour." "Perhaps because of Vietnam's long isolation, from the late 1970s into the early 1990s, very little has been written on the Vietnamese family. Moreover, much that has been written is limited to investigating the family itself, often focusing on the situation of women. This monograph takes a quite different perspective, locating the family within its wider social and historical context. The study examines how marital partners are chosen, and what their various domains are within the family; reproduction and birth control; son preference and ancestor worship; the role of the state. The study will be of interest not just to sociologists of the family but also to those scholars looking to understand the current social transformation of Vietnam."--Jacket.
