“…Despite women's everyday negotiation and resistance, these moral ideals are perpetuated through the ways in which age and gender hierarchies intersect to exert power over the sexuality and moral conduct of women (Rydstrøm 2003(Rydstrøm , 2004(Rydstrøm , 2010Ngo 2004;Gammeltoft 2014). Such perpetuation of patriarchal ideas has not abated with women's enhanced role in the household economy since đổi mới (Drummond and Rydstrøm 2004;Barbieri and Bélanger 2009).…”

Th is article argues that migrant domestic workers in Hanoi practise a form of fi ctitious kinship to carve out personal spaces away from their rural home. Biographical narratives of domestic workers who are unusually devoted to forging emotional ties with their employers indicate that they tend to have problematic private lives. Beyond emotional labour, the performance of fi ctitious kinship entails signifi cant personal investment on the part of women, at times generating mutual feelings and relationships between them and certain members of the employers' household. Th ese relationships are crucial to their personal transformations, helping them construct new identities and opening up possibilities for challenging the power hierarchy in their home. Yet such constructed kinship is treacherous and uncertain, not just because of its foundation is their commodifi ed labour, subject to the rules of the market, but also due to the dangers of intimate encounters in the private sphere.

“…Notwithstanding their racially deterministic undertones, declarations that laud Vietnamese American success equally promote the "Vietnamese" component of the diaspora. Commentators attribute the group's cohesion and achievement to the potency of the Vietnamese family unit supported by a patriarchal hierarchy, a commitment to education, and a strong work ethic (Kibria 1995, but see Drummond andRydström 2004).…”

Using evidence from the Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam tourism industry, this study critiques the entrepreneurial city model on the grounds that it posits a normative argument separating the governance practices of the urban state from the for-profit activities of the private sector. This division masks the long-standing encroachment of the public (or state) sector into "private" (or nonstate) arenas, and limits the nonstate sector's role in forging entrepreneurial schemes. Using interview data that illustrate the ambiguous relationships between the state and nonstate, I will analyze entrepreneurial cities based on the blurriness of the boundaries between the state and nonstate sectors as they negotiate their charges and collaborate for purposes entrepreneurial. [Key words: urban entrepreneurialism, public-private, Ho Chi Minh City, doi moi, Vietnam.]
