The Nationalistic Ideology of Huynh Thuc Khang (1876-1947)

Abstract

Nationalism has always been a topic of interest in the field of cultural and historical studies. In this study, through the use of document analysis, approaching from a cultural perspective, we will explore the vital aspects of this ideology through the case of a famous cultural figure in Vietnam in the early 20th century, Huynh Thuc Khang (1876 - 1947). We focused on surveying a number of articles published in the newspaper Tieng Dan (1927 - 1943) to identify three main aspects of Huynh Thuc Khang's nationalism ideology: national pride; acknowledgement of national sovereignty and self-reliance.
