Book excerpt: Detective story, social history, human drama, The Deprat Affair recreates the hothouse atmosphere of colonial Indochina in the early twentieth century. Among its cliques, its bitter rivalries, its nepotism and favours, how are we to disentangle the scientific, the moral and the legal 'truths' of the affair? Most of all, the story centres on one compelling individual - Jacques Deprat. En route to a golden future as one of France's greatest geologists, he is suddenly accused of fraud and plunged into a desperate fight to save his reputation. Convicted of placing European fossils among samples collected in Indochina, he is dismissed from his job, and expelled from the Société Géologique de France. Thrown out of the science to which he has given everything, he re-invents himself, changes his name, and begins not one, but two fascinating new lives - each as extraordinary and colourful as the one he left behind. And even in the manner of his premature death, Deprat proved his ability to shake the world. Eighty years on from his conviction, the truth of the Deprat affair is still in doubt - and is still passionately debated among French scientists. But innocent or guilty, Jacques Deprat is an astonishing figure, whose capacity to overcome the world's disgrace and the dissolution of his dreams makes an amazing and captivating story.

Download or read book The Starving Empire written by Yan Slobodkin and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Starving Empire traces the history of famine in the modern French Empire, showing that hunger is intensely local and sweepingly global, shaped by regional contexts and the transnational interplay of ideas and policies all at once. By integrating food crises in Algeria, West and Equatorial Africa, and Vietnam into a broader story of imperial and transnational care, Yan Slobodkin reveals how the French colonial state and an emerging international community took increasing responsibility for subsistence, but ultimately failed to fulfill this responsibility. Europeans once dismissed colonial famines as acts of god, misfortunes of nature, and the inevitable consequences of backward races living in harsh environments. But as Slobodkin recounts, drawing on archival research from four continents, the twentieth century saw transformations in nutrition, scientific racism, and international humanitarianism that profoundly altered ideas of what colonialism could accomplish. A new confidence in the ability to mitigate hunger, coupled with new norms of moral responsibility, marked a turning point in the French Empire's relationship to colonial subjects—and to nature itself. Increasingly sophisticated understandings of famine as a technical problem subject to state control saddled France with untenable obligations. The Starving Empire not only illustrates how the painful history of colonial famine remains with us in our current understandings of public health, state sovereignty, and international aid, but also seeks to return food—this most basic of human needs—to its central place in the formation of modern political obligation and humanitarian ethics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of essays written on twentieth-century Vietnamese society, Vit Nam Expos is one of only a handful of books written by French scholars for an English-speaking audience. The volume is multidisciplinary and represents a new trend in Vietnamese studies that addresses issues beyond politics, wars, and violence, exploring the complexity of more subtle power relationships in Vietnamese society. The book is divided into three parts. Part I, "Vietnamese Society in the Early Twentieth Century," takes a micro approach to the study of Vietnamese society on the eve of the irreversible social transformation that occurred as the colonial infrastructure took root in Indochina. Part II, "Vietnamese Intellectuals: Contesting Colonial Power," contains biographical accounts of Vietnamese intellectuals who tried to reform their society under colonial domination. Part III, "Post-Colonial Vietnam: From Welfare State to Market-Oriented Economy," traces Vietnam's search for a viable economic model while maintaining itself as a socialist state. The book speaks to diverse themes, including the nature of village life, the development of health care during the colonial era, the status of women, the role of Vietnamese intellectuals in the anticolonial struggle, the building of a socialist state, contemporary rural migration, labor relations, and Vietnam in an age of globalization.

Download or read book A la barre de l'Indochine written by Jean Decoux and published by SOUKHA EDITIONS. This book was released on 2013 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le témoignage exceptionnel du dernier gouverneur général de l’Indochine qui préserva la « Perle de l’Empire » des turbulences de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et posa les bases de ce qui aurait pu devenir des pays indépendants et en paix associés à la France. Alors que l’Amiral Jean Decoux était la cible d’un procès « d’épuration » – qui se conclurait par un non-lieu –, le Roi du Cambodge, Norodom Sihanouk, lui écrivit le 20 juin 1946 : « … je dirai avec quelle abnégation vous avez, en Indochine, servi les intérêts supérieurs de la France et avec quelle noblesse de cœur vous avez assuré, pendant quatre ans, la protection des peuples indochinois contre l’ennemi. Je suis certain que justice vous sera rendue et que la France vous considèrera comme un des meilleurs parmi ses fils ». Ainsi va l’Histoire. Selon ses aléas, le héros devient bien vite le « traître » aux yeux d’une opinion désinformée par des intérêts qui la dépassent ou, à tout le moins, est-il « effacé » d’une mémoire qui dérange. L’ Amiral Decoux, malheureusement, n’a pas échappé à cette règle. À la barre de l’Indochine – le récit de son gouvernorat – était introuvable depuis de nombreuses années. Et pourtant… quel témoignage exceptionnel ! D’une écriture élégante et avec un soin extrême des détails, l’Amiral nous explique comment il tint le « navire Indochine » hors de l’eau au milieu de la tempête de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il nous décrit l’enchaînement des évènements et les défis qui s’amoncellent, auxquels il doit faire face avec pour unique objectif l’accomplissement de sa mission : maintenir l’Indochine dans le giron français. Mais la portée de son action va bien au-delà. L’énergie de Jean Decoux était aussi tendue pour construire les fondations profondes d’un avenir commun librement décidé entre la France, les royaumes du Laos et du Cambodge, et le « Vietnam ». L’ Amiral Decoux fut ainsi le premier haut responsable français à employer le mot Vietnam pour ce qu’on nommait encore le Tonkin, l’Annam et la Cochinchine. Le coup de force nippon du 9 mars 1945 et ses funestes conséquences fracasseront l’espoir de l’Amiral d’une indépendance pacifique de ces pays en association avec la France. Toujours est-il qu’À la barre de l’Indochine pose clairement les bases de ce que pourraient encore être demain ces rapports fraternels et privilégiés avec des peuples qui nous sont si proches à tant d’égards. Si nous voulions bien un jour assumer aussi les bienfaits de notre histoire coloniale… En ce sens, À la barre de l’Indochine n’est pas seulement un extraordinaire document historique. Il est aussi un livre terriblement actuel. Avec une préface de Jacques Decoux

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When American forces arrived in Vietnam, they found themselves embedded in historic village and frontier spaces already shaped by many past conflicts. American bases and bombing targets followed spatial and political logics influenced by the footprints of past wars in central Vietnam. The militarized landscapes here, like many in the world�s historic conflict zones, continue to shape post-war land-use politics. Footprints of War traces the long history of conflict-produced spaces in Vietnam, beginning with early modern wars and the French colonial invasion in 1885 and continuing through the collapse of the Saigon government in 1975. The result is a richly textured history of militarized landscapes that reveals the spatial logic of key battles such as the Tet Offensive. Drawing on extensive archival work and years of interviews and fieldwork in the hills and villages around the city of Hue to illuminate war�s footprints, David Biggs also integrates historical Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data, using aerial, high-altitude, and satellite imagery to render otherwise placeless sites into living, multidimensional spaces. This personal and multilayered approach yields an innovative history of the lasting traces of war in Vietnam and a model for understanding other militarized landscapes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the French reoccupation of Indochina at the end of World War II, the pro-Communist Vietnamese nationalists, or Viet Minh, launched a grassroots insurgency that erupted into a full-fledged war in 1949. After nearly ten years of savage combat, the western world was stunned when Viet Minh forces decisively defeated the French Union army at the battle of Dien Bien Phu in May 1954. Logistics dominated every aspect of the First Indochina War, dictating the objectives, the organization of forces, the timing and duration of the operations, and even the final outcome. In A War of Logistics, Charles R. Shrader meticulously examines both French Union and Viet Minh logistical units during the period of active conventional warfare, as well as external support provided to the French by the United States and to the Vietnamese by China. Although the Vietnamese had few advantages over their opponents, their military leaders brilliantly employed a highly committed network of soldiers and civilians, outfitted to accommodate the challenging terrain on which they fought. Drawing on extensive research such as declassified intelligence documents, the reports of French participants, and accounts by Viet Minh leaders, including Vo Nguyen Giap and Ho Chi Minh, A War of Logistics provides in-depth coverage of the often-ignored but critically important topic of logistics in modern military campaigns.
