Danielle Labb茅, formerly a post-doctoral fellow with the Global Suburbanisms project (and contributor to聽Suburban Constellations) has just published book titled, "" exploring how a rural village was absorbed into the city.
From the publisher:
Danielle Labb茅 considers a century of change to the settlement of H貌a M峄 - a community that underwent a rapid transition from rural village to urban neighbourhood. Through extensive research in the community, Labb茅 studies not only the changing lives of villagers, but also the state regulations and territorialization projects that drove these changes on the outskirts of Hanoi, and the聽early聽urban changes in the decades that preceded the reforms and continue to influence the area鈥檚 urbanization.
