    Oh, Vietnam is also super cool. I mostly know from Luna Oi, as I don’t have any friends or acquaintances from Vietnam, but the people look very friendly and nice and the cuisine also amazing. I’m afraid to say I don’t know much of the ancient history of Vietnam, it would be interesting to know more! Any good resources on it in English? I’m thinking something like the channel Gates of Kilikien for the history of China, but for Vietnam.

      Well I have mostly read some bougie ancient history of Vietnam but I will post some screenshots from more based books which aren’t specifically about Vietnam but have useful sections about Vietnamese history (also Laos Cambodia and China) with Libgen links on /c/history@lemmy.ml or here and ping you when I get home

      I am pretty lightweight on ancient history everywhere and I’ve been trying to remedy it. While I often diverge from their opinions on modern times post-1990, world systems writers are very good about this. There are a few journals here and there which actually post world systems papers too
