The above quote is from an article recently published in the Classical Receptions Journal, by Kelly Nguyen, Ancient History PhD candidate. Kelly's dissertation, “Vercingetorix in Vietnam: Classical Inheritance and Vietnamese Ambivalence,” explores the negotiation of Western imperialism, as mediated by Greco-Roman antiquity, by French-educated Vietnamese communities from the late-19^th to mid-20^th century. Her article focuses on Phạm Duy Khiêm, a Vietnamese writer and academic, and his use of Classics to translate and mediate his Vietnamese heritage to his French audience as a South Vietnam ambassador in France.

You can read Kelly's full article on the Classical Receptions Journal website. Congratulations to Kelly.
