Combining new approaches with a groundbreaking historical
synthesis, this accessible work is the most thorough and up-to-date
general history of French Indochina available in English. Unique in
its wide-ranging attention to economic, social, intellectual, and
cultural dimensions, it is the first book to treat Indochina's
entire history from its inception in Cochinchina in 1858 to its
crumbling at Dien Bien Ph in 1954 and on to decolonization. Basing
their account on original research as well as on the most recent
scholarship, Pierre Brocheux and Daniel Hemery tell this story from
a perspective that is neither Eurocentric nor nationalistic but
that carefully considers the positions of both the colonizers and
the colonized. With this approach, they are able to move beyond
descriptive history into a rich exploration of the ambiguities and
complexities of the French colonial period in Indochina. Rich in
themes and ideas, their account also sheds new light on the
national histories of the emerging nation-states of Vietnam, Laos,
and Cambodia, making this book essential reading for students,
scholars, and general readers interested in the region, in the
Vietnam War, or in French imperialism, among other topics.
