Chapter. 1 -- An Unprejudiced Education and the Development of Literature in South Vietnam in 1954-1975 -- Chapter. 2 -- Vietnamese Personalism: The Communitarian Humanism of the Early South Vietnamese State -- Chapter. 3 -- Spiritual Personalism on the Bimonthly Newspaper Society and the Daily Newspaper National Revolution of Saigon before 1975 -- Chapter. 4 -- Continental Philosophy and Buddhism in the Journal Tư Tưởng (Thought), 1967-1975 -- Chapter. 5 -- The Reception of Western Feminism in Feminist Literature in Urban South Vietnam 1955-1975 -- Chapter. 6 -- Rewriting the History of Vietnamese Children's Literature: Portrayals of Children in South Vietnamese Literature -- Chapter. 7 -- The Wave of Existentialist Feminism in South Vietnamese Literature (1955-1975) -- Chapter. 8 -- Existentialist Elements in Nguyễn Đình Toàn's Literary Works -- Chapter. 9 -- Vu Hanh (1926 - 2021) - A typical Left-Leaning Writer -- Chapter. 10 -- Phạm Công Thiện's Ontological Dialogue with Martin Heidegger and Henry Miller -- Chapter. 11 -- The Tragical Hero: Nguyễn Mạnh Côn -- Chapter. 12 -- Notes on Nationalism in South Vietnam: Vulnerable Indian Migrants.

This edited book examines how South Vietnam's (formerly the Republic of Vietnam 1955-1975) literary and journalistic writers were perceived and - potentially - influenced by Western thought, led by thinkers such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Franz Kafka, Sigmund Freud, Thomas Mann, Martin Heidegger, Hermann Hesse, Edmund Husserl, Stefan Zweig, Graham Greene, and Somerset Maugham. The book reveals the dynamism and diversity of Western thought in individual literary texts, as well as among the authors themselves. The volume considers how writers and their texts engaged with issues that are socially, culturally, politically, and philosophically significant to Vietnam and beyond, past and present. This approach to South Vietnam's literary and journalistic tradition enables an alternative plural, inclusive view of the significance of these texts, which are shown to be neither exclusively anti-Communist nor "bourgeois individualist" (cá nhân tiểu tư sản), as they have so often been interpreted both in and outside of Vietnam. Such an interpretation problematically retains the marginal position of South Vietnam's literature in mainstream Vietnamese literature, and in the literatures of the host countries where these Vietnamese authors have migrated, settled, and continued to write following the 'Fall of Saigon'. This volume presents itself as a key text for those studying Asian and postcolonial literatures, as well as scholars in the humanities researching Vietnam - its history, politics, society, and culture.
