In this important new study, Charles Keith explores the complex position of the Catholic Church in modern Vietnamese history. By demonstrating how French colonial rule allowed for the transformation of Catholic missions in Vietnam into broad and powerful economic and institutional structures, Keith discovers the ways race defined ecclesiastical and cultural prestige and control of resources and institutional authority. This, along with colonial rule itself, created a culture of religious life in which relationships between Vietnamese Catholics and European missionaries were less equal and more fractious than ever before. However, the colonial era also brought unprecedented ties between Vietnam and the transnational institutions and culture of global Catholicism, as Vatican reforms to create an independent national Church helped Vietnamese Catholics to reimagine and redefine their relationships to both missionary Catholicism and to colonial rule itself. Much like the myriad revolutionary ideologies and struggles in the name of the Vietnamese nation, this revolution in Vietnamese Catholic life was ultimately ambiguous, even contradictory: it established the foundations for an independent national Church, but it also polarized the place of the new Church in post-colonial Vietnamese politics and society and produced deep divisions between Vietnamese Catholics themselves.

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Much of the American part of the chart will be found in either Bishop Meade's Old Churches, Ministers, and Families of Virginia, which is authority for so much family history as may be supposed to have lain within the knowledge of his contemporaries, or Savage's Genealogical Dictionary of New England, Vinton's Symmes Memorial, or Tuttle's Descendants of W'il liam and Elizabeth Tattle. I have derived my knowledge of the records in Virginia other than parochial, and of the tombstone inscriptions not taken from Bishop Meade's work, made use of either in the chart or in the accounts of, families following this Introduction, from the publications of the Virginia Historical Society, or articles in periodicals by, and correspond ence with, Mrs. Ella Bassett Washington, Pres. Lyon G; Tyler, Alexander Brown, W. G. Stanard, R. A. Brook, and others. In that part of the chart which consists of a table of the descendants of President William Henry Harrison, I have made use of much data collected by Frank Willing Leach for his projected work on the descendants of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence.

Analytical jurisprudence often proceeds with two key assumptions: that all law is either contained in or traceable back to an authorizing law-state, and that states are stable and in full control of the borders of their legal systems. What would a general theory of law be like and do if these long-standing presumptions were loosened? The Unsteady State aims to assess the possibilities by enacting a relational approach to explanation of law, exploring law's relations to the environment, security, and technology. The account provided here offers a rich and renewed perspective on the preconditions and continuity of legal order in systemic and non-systemic forms, and further supports the view that the state remains prominent yet is now less dominant in the normative lives of norm-subjects and as an object of legal theory.
