Table of ContentsReviews"A unique and brilliant case study of a Vietnamese religious cult that traces its history, and the multiple significances with which Vietnamese society invested it, from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. Painstaking but far from dull, this extraordinary book will be a must read for anthropologists, historians, and any other scholars interested in religion and culture.--Alexander Woodside ""University of British Columbia"" This work is a major contribution to our understanding of life, religion, and culture in early modern and modern Vietnam. The author's expertise in the texts that she considers is quite special and reflects the increasing sophistication in the discovery and use of indigenous sources by a new generation of scholars. The book is strongly recommended for those interested in Vietnam, its culture and religion, its literature, and its history.--John Whitmore ""University of Michigan""" "This work is a major contribution to our understanding of life, religion, and culture in early modern and modern Vietnam.
