Summary: This monograph explores the origins and expansion of the Cao Dai movement, the largest peasant movement in Viet Nam during the colonial period. Emerging about 1925 in the southern part of Viet Nam (French Cochinchina), the Cao Dai, a religious sect, attracted (up until the 1950s) more adherents than any other peasant group in the south... Being more important politically than the Hoa Hao, the Cao Dai exercised considerable influence on southern Vietnamese politics for well over half a century. In fact, of the three major mass movements in southern Viet Nam during the colonial period, the Cao Dai were the best organized and most successful.
