When France laid claim to the territories which became French
Indochina, its beleaguered trading posts on the east coast of India
gained a new purpose, sending Indians to help secure and administer
its newest possessions and to assist in their commercial expansion.
The migrants were among those peoples of France's overseas empire
who gained the rights of French citizens following the French
Revolution. This volume explores the consequences of their arrival
in Indochina just as France was testing a new approach to its
colonised peoples, an approach less enamoured with the idea of
colonial citizenship and more racially ordered. This book offers an
analysis of the fate of Republican ideals as they travelled between
different parts of the French Empire and raised contentious issues
of citizenship which engaged Indians, French authorities, and
Vietnamese reformers in debate. It considers too the distinctive
French colonial social order that was shaped in the process. A
lively story, it is at the same time an important addition to
scholarship on the French empire, on colonial society in Vietnam
specifically, and on migration to Southeast Asia.
