"Imagined Memories of Vietnamese Communism" illuminates the real and imagined lives of Ton Duc Thang (1888-1980), a celebrated revolutionary activist and Vietnamese communist icon, but it is much more than a conventional biography. This multifaceted study constitutes the first detailed re-evaluation of the official history of the Vietnamese Communist Part and is a critical analysis of the inner workings of Vietnamese historiography never before undertaken in its scope.Second only to Ho Chi Minh (whom he succeeded in the presidency) in prominence and public visibility, Ton Duc Thang in fact lacked any real power. Author Christoph Giebel reconciles this seeming contradiction by showing that it was only Ton Duc Thang who could personify for the Party crucial legitimizing 'ancestries': those that linked Vietnamese communism with the Russian October Revolution, highlighted proletarian internationalism among its ranks, and rooted the Party in Viet Nam's south. The study traces the decades-long, complex processes in which famous heroic episodes in Ton Duc Thang's life were manipulated or simply fabricated and - depending on prevailing historical and political necessities - utilized by the propaganda organs of the Communist party.Over time, narrative control over these tales switched hands, however, and, since the late 1950s, the stories came to be used in factional disputes by competing ideological and regional interests within the revolutionary camp. Based on innovative archival research in Viet Nam and France and on analyses of biographical writings, propaganda, and museum representations, the study challenges core assumptions about the history of the Vietnamese Communist Part and sheds light on divisions within the revolutionary movement along regional, class, and ideological lines. Giebel uses the fictions and contested facts of Ton's life to demonstrate that history-writing and the constructions of memories and identities are always political acts.
