Abstract Former NLF soldier Tran Thi Tuyet talks about the agrovilles and her daily life. She recalls that life was relatively quiet until the agrovilles were built under Ngo Dinh Diem as part of the Rural Community Development Program to forcibly relocate sections of the population. She talks about villages being destroyed so an agroville could be constructed. The population suffered and life became hard. The civilians began to revolt and demanded that their land be returned to them. In the beginning the uprising was popular and many people would join in order for life to return to normal. Tran Thi Tuyet also recalls that when the agrovilles were dismantled in 1960 a second uprising occurred and people rushed back to gain control of their former homes. Tran Thi Tuyet discusses why she joined the NLF, as it was the only way not to remain in the agrovilles forever.
