Subjects and Sojourners
During French colonial rule in Indochina, as many as two hundred thousand Indochinese sojourned to France. Subjects and Sojourners is a vivid and comprehensive social, cultural, and political history of this diverse group, which ranged from ruling monarchs to the most marginal laborers. Drawing from rich but untapped archival collections, Charles Keith explores how French colonial rule in Indochina extended colonial society into France, where Indochinese subjects studied, labored, fought, and lived in contexts that were profoundly different from their places of origin. Time in France transformed these sojourners, and when they returned to Indochina, they in turn transformed colonial society. Indochinese, in short, did not simply encounter “France” in the they went and lived it for themselves.
