		Miranda Arana’s "Neotraditional Music in Vietnam" is an insightful and highly readable work about the renovated traditional music that is as widespread throughout Vietnam as it is controversial.
		Although this modern form of traditional music draws from Vietnam’s collective heritage, it is also a fascinating construct of twentieth-century Vietnam.
		With music as her window, she reveals the complex and often contradictory forces that helped to shape contemporary Vietnam, including French colonialism, nationalism, war, socialist revolution, independence under the shadow of Sino-Soviet influence, and now the global market economy.
