SUMMARY:Caught between Tradition and Modernity: Women and Consumption in Co
 lonial Tonkin
DESCRIPTION:\n	Tran Thi Phuong Hoa (Senior Researcher\, Vietnamese Institut
 e for European Studies\, Vietnamese Academy of Social Sciences\; HYI Visit
 ing Scholar)\n	Chair and Discussant: Hue-Tam Ho Tai (Kenneth T. Young Pr
 ofessor of Sino-vietnamese History\, Department of History\, Harvard Unive
 rsity)\n\n\n	Co-sponsored by the Harvard University Asia Center\n\n	Dr. Tr
 an will discuss changes in women’s consuming behavior as a result of cul
 tural\, social and economic modernization in Tonkin\, one among the five r
 egions of French Indochina. The emergence of a small number of middle-clas
 s women who were educated and aware of their rights and responsibilities g
 radually shaped consumption trends and was accompanied by a new lifestyle.
  To some extent\, the new woman was trapped between tradition and modernit
 y\, between family obligations and community norms on the one hand and the
  attraction of new\, more liberal ideas about freedom of choice on the oth
 er hand. Reaction to the emergence of the new woman was characterized by a
 mbivalence and controversy. This sheds light on Tonkinese society’s enco
 unter with modernity.
