As state policies forced rapid urbanization, villagers whose families had farmed the land for generations saw rice fields levelled, irrigation canals filled, and large avenues flanked by residential towers, big-box stores, and office buildings spring up. Danielle Labbé considers a century of change to the settlement of Hoa Muc – a community that underwent a rapid transition from rural village to urban neighbourhood. Through extensive research in the community, Labbé studies not only the changing lives of villagers, but also the state regulations and territorialization projects that drove these changes on the outskirts of Hanoi, and the early urban changes in the decades that preceded the reforms and continue to influence the area's urbanization. Despite the new buildings, the end of farming activities, and the arrival of a large new population, the former villagers still consider Hoa Muc their homeland. The compelling story of this single village is both a portrait of a population that has endured despite drastic upheavals and a new analytical window onto Vietnam's ongoing urban transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 The Early Urban Transition (1920-40)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Uneven Socialist Revolutions (1940-65)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Eating by Points and Coupons Is Not Enough (1965-80)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 The New Urban Territorial Order (1980-2010)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Land for Fresh Ghosts, Land for Dry Ghosts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStatutes Cited\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52531055100184,"sku":"9780774826686","price":22.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/land-politics-and-livelihoods-on-the-margins-of-hanoi-1920-2010-paperback-softback-9780774826686","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
