Extract
Like the traders in Bến Thành market, I have benefited from a rich network of colleagues, family, and friends. This project began at Harvard University, where both Mary Steedly and Hue-Tam Ho Tai nurtured my interest in Vietnam, gender, life narratives, and political economy. Innovative, generous scholars both, their mentorship continues to support me. Courses and conversations with Rubie Watson, Stanley Tambiah, Sally Falk Moore, Michael Herzfeld, Woody Watson, and Ted Bestor shaped methodology and content. Numerous colleagues at College of the Holy Cross have provided advice and constructive criticism: Daniel Goldstein, David Hummon, Jerry Lembcke, Royce Singleton, Edward Thompson, Caroline Yezer, Jennie Germann Molz, Susan Crawford Sullivan, Karen Gottschang Turner, and Diane Niblack Fox. Mary K. Arseniadis, Suzanne Roath, and Martha Walters served as research assistants, Michele Latour provided administrative support, and John Buckingham prepared the figures for publication. From the moment I joined this vibrant community, Susan Rodgers has been an incomparable role model of a scholar and teacher. Her experience guides me on a daily basis, for which I am enormously grateful.
