Indochina an ambiguous colonization, 1858-1954

"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 Phu in 1954 and on to decolonization. Basing their account on original research as well as on the most recent scholarship, Pierre Brocheux and Daniel Hémery 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."--Publisher description.

  • "Dans le devenir des sociétés de la péninsule indochinoise, la colonisation française a représenté un moment d,histoire crucial. Celui de leur insertion dans les dynamiques du capitalisme, de l'économie moderne et des conflits entre les grands impérialismes. Ce livre fait le point sur l'ambiguïté des contacts entre colonisateurs et colonisés, et sur la décolonisation."

  • "Dans le devenir des sociétés de la péninsule indochinoise, la colonisation française, en dépit de sa relative brièveté temporelle, a représenté un moment d'histoire crucial. Composante fondamentale du système colonial français, l'Indochine a été la matrice du Vietnam, du Cambodge et du Laos contemporains. C'est l'un des lieux où, après 1945, s'est déterminée la décolonisation, avant qu'il ne devienne l'objet du principal conflit militaire de la guerre froide et de l'opposition entre le tiers monde et l'Occident. À partir des archives, des ouvrages et des travaux anciens ou récents, ce livre rend compte des ambiguïtés du conflit et du contact entre colonisateurs et colonisés. Il interroge le processus de mise en dépendance de la péninsule par la France, les structures et le fonctionnement du pouvoir et de l'exploitation économique, les clivages de la société coloniale et des sociétés colonisées, les dynamismes inégaux des résistances à la colonisation française, des nationalismes et des mouvements sociaux dans l'ensemble indochinois. Enfin, il fait le point sur la décolonisation et la première guerre d'Indochine. Cet ouvrage sans équivalent, entièrement actualisé depuis sa première publication en 1994, présente l'état actuel des connaissances et du questionnement historique sur une aire de civilisation dont on n'a pas fini de mesurer l'importance dans le destin du monde."
