To what extent, and precisely how, are nationalism and patriotism
transnational processes? Youth Mobilization in Vichy Indochina and
Its Legacies analyzes the causes and consequences of
state-sponsored patriotic youth associations during World War II in
French Indochina. Providing an historical account of the
transnational policy process of youth mobilization during World War
II, this book describes how officials transplanted French doctrines
to Indochina with sensitivity toward the varying local political
contexts and cultural traditions the French believed they had found
there. Engaging the work of Benedict Anderson on nationalism in the
Third World, Raffin details the mechanisms by which a set of French
colonial practices and discourses sponsored by the colonial state
promoted nationalism among local youth and helped to lead the
countries of the former French Indochina toward militaristic
regimes. This well-researched volume provides a valuable
contribution to a period of Indochinese history that is still
little studied, and is important reading for students and scholars
of colonial history who seek a long-term historical perspective on
empire and post-empire state building.
