Việt Nam is the home of more than fifty ethnic minoritiesmdash;such as the Chăm and Thaacute;imdash;many of which have distinctive clothing and weaving traditions linked to antiquity. The tight-fitting tunic called aacute;o dagrave;i; widely recognized as a national symbol; has its roots in the countryrsquo;s 2;000ndash;year history of textiles. Beginning with silk production in the Bronze Age cultures of the Red River; this book covers textiles in Việt Nammdash;including bark-cloth; kapok and hempmdash;through the centuries of Chinese rule in the north; a number of independent feudal societies and the brief period of French colonial rule.
