Reflections on the fortieth anniversary of the end of the Vietnam war
/ Gillen, Jamie

0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract
This set of six short papers critically addresses the date of 30 April 2015, which marks the fortieth anniversary of the reunification of Vietnam – or what is often called the “fall of Saigon” in the United States – and the end of the war in Vietnam. This conflict is also called “American” war in Vietnam (chiến tranh chống Mỹ) and the “Second Indochina War” (1965–1975) because it more accurately conveys the war’s impact on the region surrounding Vietnam (and to distinguish it from the First Indochina War (1946–1954)). This collection arose from a panel session at the 2015 Association of American Geographers meeting in Chicago, Illinois, and brings together a mix of senior and junior geographers who work in and on mainland Southeast Asia development issues.

Tour guides as tourist products in Dalat, Vietnam: exploring market freedoms in a communist state
/ Gillen, Jamie; Kirby, Rusty ; Micheline van Riemsdijk
Gillen, Jamie
Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract
This paper investigates how tour guides position themselves in Vietnam's transition from a command economy to market socialism. The case study of the Dalat Easy Riders motorcycle guides demonstrates that tour guides take advantage of, personify and contribute to the economic, political and social transitions in the country. Relatedly, we argue that Vietnam's transition (known as đổi mới) is a key component of the Easy Riders' promotional narratives. In sum, we analyse how tour guides become tourist products in a transitional society.
