The Voice

This introduction delineates the three main pillars of the book. Red music is defined within the context of the Vietnamese music industry and compared with propaganda music in other communist countries. The concept of a continuous revolution is described through reference to literature from political thinkers in Vietnam and the wider communist world. Radio and the voice are assessed as key themes in recent anthropological studies. This is followed by a review of the social history of sound reproduction, which is considered in the fields of ethnomusicology, sound studies, radio studies, and related fields. After outlining the research methodology (ethnographic and archival approaches) and structure of the book, the introduction concludes with notes on language, recordings, and musical transcriptions.

Young Professor

I first met Michael Katz on a clear, cool autumn afternoon in 1970. I was an uncertain first-year graduate student at the University of Toronto intending to complete a doctorate in British history with a project on antisocialism. Feeling confused, anxious, and unsatisfied by my courses, I began to share my concerns with fellow students. One of them, who became a lifelong friend (and editor), suggested that I contact that “young professor up the street” in history of education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education who worked in the new social history. Having read Thernstrom, Tilly, E. P. Thompson, Eric Hobsbawm, Barrington Moore, and so forth, in a senior honors seminar, I drew up my courage and went to meet Michael.
