Join host Kenneth Nguyen and series co-host Kevin Pham, author of The Architects of Dignity, in this compelling sub-series of the podcast, exploring the key figures and moments in Vietnamese history.

In this episode, we deep dive into the life and legacy of Phan Boi Chau, a trailblazing revolutionary who played a crucial role in shaping the early discourse on Vietnamese nationalism. From his humble upbringing to his profound contributions to society, we examine how Phan Boi Chau laid the intellectual groundwork for Vietnam's quest for independence.
