Life
Khắc Viện first came to Paris, France, in 1937, a time where the capital was a hotbed for anti-imperialist political exiles. He would stay in the country for twenty years, wherein he pursued an advanced degree in medicine, became a doctor and a writer.[7]
He became a member of the French Communist Party in 1947, two years after Ho Chi Minh's declaration of Vietnamese independence.[8] and worked on propaganda, campaigns, and discussions for Vietnamese national liberation with both French intellectuals and Vietnamese soldiers in the French army.
Khắc Viện was a prominent voice for Vietnamese national liberation since 1953 until his expulsion to Vietnam in 1963.[8] He became the editor of the French journals Études Vietnamiennes (Vietnamese Studies) and the Courrier du Vietnam (Vietnamese Courier).[7] Under the pseudonym Nguyen Nghe, he wrote a prominent critique of the book Wretched of the Earth by fellow anti-colonialist Franz Fanon, through the essay "Frantz Fanon and the Problems of Independence."[7]
He married Nguyen Thi Nhat in 1966, with one adopted daughter.[8]
