"Following a decade of United States bombing campaigns that obliterated northern Vietnam,
East Germany helped Vietnam rebuild in an act of socialist solidarity. In Building
Socialism Christina Schwenkel examines the utopian visions of an expert group of Vietnamese
and East German urban planners who sought to transform the devastated industrial town
of Vinh into a model socialist city. Drawing on archival and ethnographic research
in Vietnam and Germany with architects, engineers, construction workers, and tenants
in Vinh's mass housing complex, Schwenkel explores the material and affective dimensions
of urban possibility, and the quick fall of Vinh's new built environment into unplanned
obsolescence. She analyzes the tensions between aspirational infrastructure and postwar
uncertainty to show how design models and practices that circulated between the socialist
North and the decolonizing South underwent significant modification to accommodate
alternative cultural logics and ideas about urban futurity. By documenting the building
of Vietnam's first planned city and its aftermath of decay and repurposing, Schwenkel
argues that underlying the ambivalent and often unpredictable responses to modernist
architectural forms were anxieties about modernity and the future of socialism itself"
