SUMMARY:Local Administrators and the Nguyễn Dynasty’s Suppression of Ch
 ristianity during the Reign of Minh Mạng\, 1820–1841
DESCRIPTION:\n	Makino Motonori (Chief Curator\, Toyo Bunko Museum\; Senior 
 Research Fellow\, Toyo Bunko\; HYI Visiting Scholar)\n	Chair and Discuss
 ant: Hue-Tam Ho Tai (Kenneth T. Young Professor of Sino-vietnamese Histo
 ry\, Department of History\, Harvard University)\n\n\n	This talk offers in
 sight into sociopolitical relations between the Christian community and th
 e local bureaucracy of North Vietnam under the reign of Minh Mạng (1820-
 1841) of the Nguyễn dynasty. The Apostolic Vicariate of Western Tonkin o
 n which this talk focuses had the largest Christian population in Vietnam 
 at that time\, and had been under the administration of the French catholi
 c mission\, “Société des Missions Étrangères de Paris (MEP)” since
  the middle of the 17th century. The core of this Christian community was
  situated in the provinces of Nam Định and that of Nghệ An.\n\n	Befor
 e the formation of the Nguyễn dynasty in 1802\, the anti-Christian polic
 ies of the former North Vietnamese dynasties were enforced differently in 
 the two provinces. In general\, the local authority of Nam Định severel
 y suppressed Christianity and its communities at the request of the centra
 l government. Conversely\, that of Nghệ An secretly protected the Christ
 ians and clergy while appearing to put anti-Christian legislation into ope
 ration.\n\n	Through the analysis of documents conserved in the archives of
  the MEP and the chronicle of the Nguyễn dynasty\, this talk proves that
  such a dual tendency continued under the reign of Minh Mạng. This contr
 adicts previous studies in this area that consider Minh Mạng’s policy 
 of persecution against Christians to have been comprehensively executed th
 roughout Vietnam. Although a severe policy of persecution against Christia
 ns was executed under the reign of Minh Mạng\, the Christian society sur
 vived in North Vietnam. This talk makes clear that the resilient Christian
  community in Nghệ An played a vital role in the continuing existence of
  Christian society in North Vietnam.
