This new generation of intellectuals established Vietnam's modern anticolonial literature.\u003cbr\u003e The term \"post-mandarin\" illuminates how Vietnam's deracinated figures of intellectual authority adapted to a literary field moving away from a male-to-male literary address toward print culture. With this shift, post-mandarin intellectuals increasingly wrote for and about women.\u003cbr\u003e Post-Mandarin illustrates the significance of the inclusion of modern women in the world of letters: a more democratic system of aesthetic and political representation that gave rise to anticolonial nationalism. This conceptualization of the \"post-mandarin\" promises to have a significant impact on the fields of literary theory, postcolonial studies, East Asian and Southeast Asian studies, and modernist studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Modern Language Initiative","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580306125080,"sku":"9780823273133","price":60.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/post-mandarin-masculinity-and-aesthetic-modernity-in-colonial-vietnam-hardback-9780823273133","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
