"Between the Paris of the Orient and Ho Chi Minh City" analyzes the history of Saigon between 1954 and 1975, and argues that Western perceptions of the city conformed to an imaginary construct of it as a feminized site of sensual pleasure, a once beautiful colonial city in a state of decline, and a dangerous playground that promised exhilaration amidst leisure. This study focuses on English-language journalism during the Americanized phase of the Second Indochina War. Accordingly, this argument is discursive. It examines how wartime texts mediated understandings of difference, and explores the ways that writers' preconceptions informed their reports about Saigon specifically. On one level, the examination of these writings requires their consideration in isolation from the world in which they were written, noting how they formed a coherent discourse on Saigonese difference. On another, this discourse was productive. Western journalists' attitudes toward the Republic of Vietnam influenced the American public's understanding of the war. In addition, these journalists circulated a set of ideas about Saigon that have continued to shape Western perceptions about the East and America's role in the developing world. This dissertation aims to uncouple imaginings and reportage in Vietnam War era journalism and to illustrate how the links between these realms related to the war's course, its outcomes, and its legacies.
