French anthropologist Jacques Dournes lived in Vietnam for 25
years, from 1946 to 1970, studying the culture of the Jarai and
other highland ethnic groups. He became a renowned ethnographer and
the Jarai people became his lifelong passion. In part 1 of this
study, Andrew Hardy explores Dournes's challenging monograph Potao,
une theorie de pouvoir chez les Indochinois jorai and his views on
the role of the highlanders in ancient Champa. In part 2, Dournes
speaks animatedly with the author about the Jarai, his feelings
about culture and economics, his understanding of Vietnam's
history, and his personal experience of living in the Central
Highlands. The French transcript of the interview is presented in
the appendix.
