The book "Fishermen Community in Vietnam" first published in 2002 is based on field materials collected by the author for many years. At the time of the book's inception, the number of people interested in marine and island research, especially in the field of Anthropology / Ethnology was not much, according to which, publications in this field were not rich. Therefore, this book has been well received by people interested in this field in particular and readers in general. Compared with the current publications, the book Fishermen Community in Vietnam still retains its values in two aspects. Firstly, this is a book about the community, but so far the number of researchers interested in this area is not much. Second, the materials provided by the book reflect on fishing communities in the context of security, politics, economy, society ... in the last decades of the 20th century, therefore, readers can both have access to data about the fishing community and understand more about the social context at that time.
