Bibliographies

  From 1964 to the present, the Foreign Languages Publishing House (now World Publishing House) in Hanoi has published over a hundred books in a series called Vietnamese Studies. Many works in this bibliography are a part of this series, which covers literature, politics, agriculture, medicine, and other topics. An index to Vietnamese Studies is being prepared and will be published soon as a volume in the La.c Vie^.t series with this bibliography.

  A quarterly newsletter published by the Institute of East Asian Studies of the University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720. Edited by Douglas Pike, this newsletter surveys political events in the region and lists new publications. Subscription fee: $25 per year.
  
  
• Marr. David G. Vietnam. Vol. 146 of World Bibliographical Series. Oxford, England: Clio Press, 1992.
  
  The "Cadillac" of reference works on Vietnam.

Excellent annotations by the most widely qualified Western scholar in the field of Vietnamese studies.
  
  
• Moise, E.E. Bibliography of the Vietnam War.
  
  Extensive bibliography with some works by Vietnamese. This bibliography has circulated via e-mail and is now available on the World Wide Web at http://grunt.space.swri.edu/edsbib.ht m.
  
  
• Nguye^~n DDi`nh Tha^m. Studies on Vietnamese Language and Literature: A Preliminary Bibliography. Ithaca, NY: Southeast Asia Program, Cornell U., 1992.
  
  Lists works in Western languages on Vietnamese language and literature and also on the language and literature of Vietnam's ethnic minorities. No annotations.
  
  
• Riedy, Alan. Index to Vie^.t Nam Forum and La.c Vie^.t. in La.c Vie^.t 17. New Haven, CT: Yale Council on Southeast Asia Studies, Yale U., forthcoming.
  
  An index to two valuable sources relating to Vietnamese history, literature and culture. The Vietnam Forum (now The Vie^.t Nam Forum) is a periodical. Fourteen volumes have been published (1983-1994). Begun in 1984, La.c Vie^.t is a monograph series with fifteen works published. Huy`nh Sanh Tho^ng, a well-know translator and scholar, started the La.c Vi^.t series and Dan Duffy has continued it. Because many Forum articles and La.c Vie^.t volumes make excellent reading for courses on the war, this index will be an important aid for teachers and researchers.
  
  
• Vietnam Web.
  
  The best gateway for information on Vietnam is a site maintained by Vern Weitzel of Australian National University and his wife, Khua^'t Thi. Thanh So+n, a Vietnamese national. Called the Vietnam Virtual Library, it can be reached at http://coombs.anu.edu.au/WWWVLPages/VietPages/WWWVL- Vietnam.html.
  
  
• Wittman, Sandra M. Writing about Vietnam: A Bibliography of the Literature of the Vietnam Conflict. Boston: G.K. Hall, 1989.
  
  Lists mostly Euro-American works but includes some works by Vietnamese. Be careful in using this bibliography. John Baky has pointed out that it contains errors and inadequacies. See his "Literary Resources of the Vietnam War," War, Literature, and the Arts 5 (Spring-Summer, 1993): 15-24.
