Abstract
A general survey of French Indochina, this work summarizes the cultural, economic and political effects of French penetration up to 1935. Most of the discussion analyzes colonization in Vietnam; there is also a brief section on Cambodia, Laos, and the hill tribes. This is a secondary source, written in English by a journalist, but based upon the literature on the area written in French. The materials on Indochinese character, personality and culture seen to be based on opinion and hearsay rather than first hand knowledge of the people. In general, however, this is a factually accurate though not carefully documented general survey.
