About this product
Product Information
The definitive account of one of the most important battles of the twentieth century, and the Black River borderlands' transformation into Northwest Vietnam This new work of historical and political geography ventures beyond the conventional framing of the Battle of din Bi n Ph, the 1954 conflict that toppled the French empire in Indochina. Tracking a longer period of anticolonial revolution and nation-state formation from 1945 to 1960, Christian Lentz argues that a Vietnamese elite constructed territory as a strategic form of rule. Engaging newly available archival sources, Lentz offers a novel conception of territory as a contingent outcome of spatial contests.

Lentz has done a service to the field by reanimating the conversation around din Biên Ph and showing that there are other possible readings of this event. Contested Territory should become a standard reading on the topic and celebrated as the great contribution it is."--Michitaki Aso, H-Diplo "[Lentz] brings the diversity and richness of the broader regional field to bear on this important book about northwest Vietnam and the heavenly muang .
