Indochina, An Ambiguous colonization,
1858-1954
Pierre BROCHEUX et Daniel HÉMERY
Présentation, en langue anglaise
Combining fresh approaches with an historical synthesis, this book
presents general history of French Indochina. Focusing on economic,
social, intellectual, and cultural dimensions, it intends 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.
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. Caption

"An important, well-conceived, and original piece of historical synthesis."—Peter Zinoman, author of The Colonial Bastille: A History of Imprisonment in Vietnam
"Indochina is the first and best general history of French colonial Indochina from its inception in 1858 to its crumbling in 1954. It is the only work to avoid 'nationalist,' 'colonialist,' and 'anticolonialist' historiographies in order to fully explore the ambiguity of the French colonial period. A major contribution to the national histories of France, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia."—Christopher Goscha, Université du Québec à Montréal
