subject [Vsg] Hoà Hảo
Dear All,
Do we have experts on the Hoa Hao on the list, especially their contemporary
fortunes?
Re-the latter, is there anything published or online?
Feel free to contact me on or off list.
Best wishes
Martin

My first book, Millenarianism and Peasant Politics in Vietnam (1983) was about the Hoa Hao and its antecedent, the Bửu Sơn Kỳ Hương sect. But I have no knowledge of the contemporary fortunes of the Hoà Hảo.

Martin,
Pascal Bourdeaux recently finished a PhD in Paris on the Hoà Hảo:
Phd in History : « Emergence et constitution de la communaute du bouddhisme
Hòa Hảo : contribution a l’histoire sociale du delta du Mekong (1935-1955) »
sous la direction de monsieur le professeur Nguyễn Thế Anh ; Ecole Pratique
des Hautes Etudes, IVe section des sciences historiques et philologiques,
Paris Sorbonne ; soutenue le 14 juin 2003.
He is presenting a paper at the upcoming UW Seattle Conference on Vietnamese
History: "Interpretative essay on the 'Hoà Hảo Revolution.'"
I do not know if he has information about the contemporary situation, but I
believe that he is on VSG list.
