Description

Explore the history of socialist solidarity in Building Socialism: The Afterlife of East German Architecture in Urban Vietnam. Following a decade of U.S. bombing campaigns that destroyed northern Vietnam, East Germany provided essential aid to help the nation rebuild. In this work, Christina Schwenkel examines the utopian visions of Vietnamese and East German urban planners who worked to transform the industrial town of Vinh into a model socialist city. Through archival and ethnographic research, the book provides a deep look into the lives of architects, engineers, construction workers, and tenants living in Vinh's mass housing complex. Schwenkel investigates the material and affective dimensions of this urban transformation, offering a unique perspective on how international cooperation shaped the physical and social landscape of Vietnam.
