H-World French Travelers and Colonization (1850-1914) Discussion published by Eric Martin on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 FROM THE EDITOR: The following the fourth of four requests for bibliographic feedback from graduate students in Northeastern University’s World History program focused on various aspects of imperial/colonial histories. The original posting came with all four bibliographies together, with an additional request for sources that might connect all four lists together. I have separated them out into four distinct postings with the hopes that this will increase both focus and discussion. French Travelers and Colonization (1850-1914), Olivier Schouteden I work on French travelers going to East and Southeast Asia during the phase of High Imperialism. The French colonization of Indochina, the areas of influence and concessions French carved up in China constitute therefore a crucial part of my project, but I do not want to limit my research to these. First, I think my project would strongly benefit from a better understanding of European colonization in general, and in the Far East and Southeast Asia in particular. Second, I wish to expand my knowledge on how colonizing enterprises were designed and perceived from within, as travelers are defined by their mobility--and therefore their potential in connecting different parts of various western empires--but are also both recipients and diffusers of colonial representations of the world. Last but not least, I would like to know more about how colonization was experienced by the colonized in order to balance as well as better understand the imperialist perspective the French travelers embodied. Any suggestion on how my reading list could be expanded on the world history terrain, since I want to allow much flexibility on who colonized and who was colonized, would fit my project perfectly and be extremely useful. The following tentative list reflects my rather ambitious project: 1) Peter Zinoman, The Colonial Bastille, A History of Imprisonment in Vietnam, 1862-1940 2) Pierre Brocheux and Daniel Hémery, Indochina: An Ambiguous Colonization, 1858-1954 3) David G. Marr., Vietnamese Anticolonialism, 1885-1925 4) Truong Buu Lam, Colonialism Experienced: Vietnamese Writings on Colonialism, 1900-1931 5) Kathryn Robson and Jennifer Yee, France and Indochina: Cultural Representations 6) Nicholas Tarling, Imperialism in Southeast Asia, A Fleeting Passing Phase 7) James C. Scott & Benedict Kerkvliet, eds., Everyday Form of Peasant Resistance in Southeast Asia 8) Marc Frey, Ronald W. Pruessen, and Tan Tai Young, eds., The Transformation of Southeast Asia: International Perspectives on Decolonization 9) Robert R.
