406 - Viet History Makers - Can Truth Be The Enemy? A Look into the Life of Nguyễn Mạnh Tường 1:14:15

منذ 5 أيام1:14:15

1:14:15

Join host Kenneth Nguyen and series co-host Kevin Pham, author of The Architects of Dignity: Vietnamese Visions of Decolonization (Oxford University Press, 2024), in this sub-series of the podcast, exploring the key figures and moments in Vietnamese history. In this episode of Viet History Makers, host Kenneth Nguyen and co-host Kevin Pham explore the life and legacy of Nguyễn Mạnh Tường (1909–1997), a brilliant scholar, lawyer, and intellectual who embodied both the promise and peril of being an independent thinker in 20th-century Vietnam. One of the most highly educated Vietnamese of his time, Nguyễn Mạnh Tường earned dual doctorates in law and literature in France before returning to Vietnam, where he sought to contribute to his country’s development. Initially a supporter of the revolution, his faith in the new regime was tested as he witnessed its treatment of intellectuals and dissenters. His outspoken critiques—particularly following the repression of the Nhân Văn-Giai Phẩm movement—led to decades of political and professional ostracization. Despite his erasure from official history for much of his life, Nguyễn Mạnh Tường’s story is a powerful reflection of the complex relationship between the truth presented by intellectuals and power in Vietnam. Was he a principled dissenter, a tragic figure caught in the tides of ideology, or both? Join us as we examine the life of a man who challenged authority with his words—and paid the price. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin D. Pham is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Amsterdam.

Join host Kenneth Nguyen and series co-host Kevin Pham, author of The Architects of Dignity: Vietnamese Visions of Decolonization (Oxford University Press, 2024), in this sub-series of the podcast, exploring the key figures and moments in Vietnamese history. In this second part episode of Viet History Makers , host Kenneth Nguyen and co-host Kevin Pham examine the life and legacy of Hồ Chí Minh (1890-1969), the revolutionary leader who played a central role in shaping modern Vietnam. A towering figure in Vietnam’s struggle for independence, Hồ Chí Minh remains one of the most influential—and divisive—leaders in Vietnamese history. A staunch nationalist and communist, Hồ Chí Minh led Vietnam’s fight against French colonial rule and later against American intervention, forging the path toward a unified, independent Vietnam. His vision for the country was rooted in socialist ideals, emphasizing land reform, economic collectivism, and national sovereignty. To many in Vietnam, he is Bác Hồ , the revered father of the nation. Yet, his legacy in the Vietnamese diaspora tells a different story. Many who fled the country after the Vietnam War remember him as a symbol of communist rule, associated with policies that led to war, suffering, and exile. His political ideology and the means by which he pursued Vietnam’s independence remain subjects of intense debate. Join us as we navigate the complexities of Hồ Chí Minh’s life—from his early travels and revolutionary awakening to his role in shaping Vietnam’s future. We explore how his ideals, policies, and leadership left an indelible mark on the nation, while also sparking deep divisions among Vietnamese communities around the world. Whether seen as a visionary leader, a skilled strategist, or a polarizing figure, Hồ Chí Minh’s impact on Vietnam and global history is undeniable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin D.

منذ 4 weeks53:26

In this episode of SEA Dreams , we dive into the world of soccer in Southeast Asia—its growth, challenges, and the elusive dream of making it to the FIFA World Cup. Recently, Vietnam’s victory over Thailand made headlines, marking a significant moment for the region’s soccer scene. But despite moments of brilliance, no Southeast Asian team (other than Indonesia when it was called The Dutch East Indies in 1938) or Asian team has ever qualified for the World Cup. Join hosts Kenneth Nguyen, An Vo, and Phil Van as they explore the structural, financial, and developmental barriers that have kept the region from reaching soccer’s biggest stage. From grassroots infrastructure and investment in youth academies to government support and international exposure, we break down the key factors shaping the future of Southeast Asian soccer. What will it take for a team from the region to finally break through? Welcome to SEA Dreams! Explore Southeast Asia’s dynamic past, present, and future landscape through the lens of culture, food, business, history, and politics. Each episode deep dives into expert analysis on key events shaping Southeast Asia. Whether you're a professional, student, or curious listener, this podcast will provide fresh perspectives and thought-provoking conversations on the forces driving change in this influential region. An Vo is an Australian-Vietnamese living in America with a background in law, politics, economics, and multi-cultural affairs. He has advised both state and federal government bodies on multi-cultural affairs. Having emigrated to Australia at age 5 An has spent two decades each in both Australia and the US but still retains his Aussie accent.

403 - Viet History Makers - Phạm Quỳnh - How to Seduce Your Enemy 1:16:15

منذ 6 weeks1:16:15

Join host Kenneth Nguyen and series co-host Kevin Pham, author of The Architects of Dignity, in this sub-series of the podcast, exploring the key figures and moments in Vietnamese history. In this episode of Viet History Makers, host Kenneth Nguyen and co-host Kevin Pham explore the life and legacy of Phạm Quỳnh (1892-1945), a prominent intellectual, writer, and statesman in modern Vietnamese history. A man of deep convictions and complex loyalties, Phạm Quỳnh’s contributions to Vietnam’s cultural and political evolution remain a topic of both admiration and debate. A passionate advocate for Vietnamese literature and a modernist thinker, Phạm Quỳnh played a key role in promoting the use of the Vietnamese script (quốc ngữ) and championing the preservation of Vietnamese culture during a time of intense colonial influence. As editor of Nam Phong magazine, his writings sought to harmonize Vietnamese traditions with modernity, making him a leading voice in shaping national identity during the French colonial period. However, Phạm Quỳnh’s legacy is not without controversy. As a high-ranking official in the French colonial administration, he faced criticism from Vietnamese revolutionaries who viewed his collaboration with the colonial regime as compromising the fight for independence. Despite this, his intellectual contributions and vision for a modern Vietnam have left an indelible mark on the nation’s history. Join us as we examine the nuances of Phạm Quỳnh’s life, from his efforts to elevate Vietnamese cultural pride to the political choices that ultimately led to his tragic fate. We explore how his vision for a culturally awakened Vietnam remains relevant today and why his legacy continues to spark debate among historians, intellectuals, and activists. Whether you see Phạm Quỳnh as a misunderstood patriot, a pragmatic modernist, or a symbol of cultural resilience, this episode provides a thought-provoking perspective on a man whose ideas and actions reflect the complexities of Vietnam’s colonial past and its quest for self-determination. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin D.

Join host Kenneth Nguyen and series co-host Kevin Pham, author of The Architects of Dignity , in this sub-series of the podcast, exploring the key figures and moments in Vietnamese history. In this episode of Viet History Makers , host Kenneth Nguyen and Professor Kevin Pham explore the life and legacy of Nguyễn An Ninh (1900-1943) , one of the most compelling and intellectual rebels in Vietnam’s modern history. A journalist, lawyer, and revolutionary thinker, Nguyễn An Ninh’s ideas and activism challenged the colonial structures of his time, inspiring both admiration and controversy. Often overshadowed by other figures of Vietnam’s independence movement, Nguyễn An Ninh stood apart as a voice that fused radical thought, cultural identity, and political defiance . His writings called for a cultural awakening among the Vietnamese youth and questioned the limits of colonial rule. Yet, his vision extended beyond political independence — he advocated for a more profound revolution of thought, values, and identity . Join us as we delve into Nguyễn An Ninh’s remarkable journey , from his time in France absorbing revolutionary ideas to his return to Vietnam, where he became a symbol of intellectual resistance . We discuss how his philosophical approach to freedom and national identity made him a unique figure in the fight for liberation, and how his legacy continues to influence generations of thinkers and activists. Whether you see Nguyễn An Ninh as an inspiring revolutionary , a romantic idealist , or a misunderstood visionary , this episode offers a fresh perspective on a man whose ideas transcended his time and continue to resonate in Vietnam’s ongoing search for identity and self-determination. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin D.

Our first guest, Cat Bao Le has been organizing in North Carolina and the South for over 14 years. From her early work with the Asian Law Caucus in civil rights and supporting Southeast Asian farmworkers with the United Farm Workers, to her fellowship in Viet Nam studying labor laws and policies, Cat’s journey has been rooted in advocacy and justice. As the founder of SEAC Village, an abolitionist Southeast Asian and Black organization in Charlotte, North Carolina, Cat has championed immigrant and refugee rights, mutual aid, and community empowerment. Now consulting and providing training for organizations, Cat also co-directs a project supporting individuals deported to Vietnam.

Join host Kenneth Nguyen and series co-host Kevin Pham, author of The Architects of Dignity , in this sub-series of the podcast, exploring the key figures and moments in Vietnamese history. In this episode of Viet History Makers , we delve into one of the most polarizing figures in Vietnam’s modern history: Ngô Đình Diệm, the first president of the Republic of Vietnam. Often portrayed as either a staunch nationalist who sought to forge a stable, independent South Vietnam or as an authoritarian leader whose policies deepened divisions within the country, Diệm’s legacy is anything but straightforward. Join us as we unravel the life and death of Ngô Đình Diệm, exploring the forces that shaped him, his rise to power, and the controversies that defined his presidency. From his early days as a devout Catholic in a predominantly Buddhist country to his role in the escalating tensions of the Cold War, we reflect on how his vision for Vietnam collided with both internal dissent and external pressures. Whether you see President Ngô Đình Diệm as a tragic figure, a flawed leader, or a symbol of a divided movement, this episode invites you to understand the man behind the myth, in the broader context of Vietnam’s struggle for identity and sovereignty. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin D.

The brothers were both mentees of Ryan Murphy’s Half Initiative and have developed projects with notables such as Cj Entertainment, CBS Studios, 20k Productions, and 1community. The two also wrote an original multicultural, supernatural narrative podcast series for Gunpowder & Sky. More recently, Kevin and Kelly were selected to take part in Soo Hugh’s and Universal Content Productions’ (UCP) highly competitive inaugural writing program, The Thousand Miles Project. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many of you still have the chance to record and preserve the legacies of your own families.

395 - Viet History Makers - Nguyen Thi Dinh - How Does One Become A Revolutionary? 1:04:48

منذ 12 weeks1:04:48

1:04:48

Join host Kenneth Nguyen and series co-host Kevin Pham, author of The Architects of Dignity , in this sub-series of the podcast, exploring the key figures and moments in Vietnamese history. In this episode of Viet History Makers , we ask, "How Does Someone Become A Revolutionary?" We turn our focus to Nguyễn Thị Định, a significant figure in Vietnam’s history, whose journey from a rural village to becoming a top military leader for the Viet Cong—and later a vice president of unified Vietnam—remains a subject of both admiration, debate and deep pain for others. Join us as we carefully navigate Nguyễn Thị Định's life and legacy, and reflect the deep complexities of Vietnam’s war-torn past. While she is celebrated by many as a symbol of resistance and resilience, her story is also deeply intertwined with the profound loss of those who fought to protect a different vision for Vietnam. In this episode, we explore her path to communism and the forces that shaped her, acknowledging the diverse perspectives on her contributions to Vietnam’s history. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin D. Pham is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Amsterdam. His research introduces Vietnamese political thought to the academic field of political theory, showing how Vietnamese thinkers challenge and enhance conventional Western understandings of important political concepts. He co-hosts Nam Phong Dialogues , a podcast in which he and Yen Vu have casual chats about Vietnamese history and being Vietnamese American. He is the author of The Architects of Dignity: Vietnamese Visions of Decolonization (Oxford University Press, 2024).
