Abstract

The microeconomy of rural North Vietnam was formed out of complex interactions between class, gender and party policies. The village-intransition upon which the Vietnamese policy-makers were attempting social change resembled the Central Lowlands village described in Chapter 5. It was still mainly a traditional patriarchal village, but one which had suffered some of the negative and unegalitarian effects of the impact of world capitalism. Party and State policy and practice concerning land reform and collectivisation had impacts on this village-in-transition. The ideal collective structures visualised in Hanoi often looked very different at the local level and it is the purpose of this chapter to point out these differences. From village studies and interview data, a view can be reconstructed of the northern village in the 1960s and the way that collective and patriarchal family economies actually operated within it.
