    Thailand and the Vietnamese resistance against the French

    No full text
    This thesis traces the growth of Vietnamese resistance activities in Thailand from the beginning of the direct French colonisation of Vietnam in 1885 to the victory of the Chinese Communists in 1949. Although Thailand's relative importance to the Vietnamese resistance movement did not increase at a constant rate during this period, but rather fluctuated in response to several factors, there was nevertheless an overall increase in Thailand's significance to the Vietnamese struggle against the French. This was most prominent during the immediate postwar period. Arranged chronologically, the present work is divided into six chapters that draw upon a large body of Vietnamese and Thai vernacular sources to detail the development of Vietnamese resistance work in Thailand during the period under study. The first chapter is divided into two time frames. The first part considers Thailand's importance to Vietnamese anticolonialists during the period between 1885 and 1925. Particular attention is paid to the extensive base building undertaken by scholar-patriots in Thailand in the early 1920s. The second section examines Vietnamese resistance programmes in Thailand in terms of their importance to the development of Vietnamese communism during the period between 1925 and 1940. Three major topics discussed in this section include: the role the Vietnamese played in the formation and leadership of the Siamese Communist Party, the part played by Vietnamese communists in promoting a Thai revolution via this Party, and the negative effects this had on Vietnamese resistance activities in Thailand. The second chapter discusses two trends in Thai politics that worked in the Vietnamese favour during WWII. The first stemmed from international events and internal Thai political changes that saw Phibun Songkhram adopt sympathetic policies toward the Vietnamese in a bid to gain their support during the brief 1940-41 Franco-Thai border war. The second, and most important development, resulted from the direct cooperation which emerged between Viet Minh and Seri Thai resistance leaders at the end of the Pacific War. These wartime Seri Thai contacts proved to be invaluable to the Viet Minh in the postwar period, one of the major factors explaining the ability of the Vietnamese to administer a wide-range of programmes in Thailand after the war. The last four chapters consider Thailand's unprecedented strategic importance to the Vietnamese in the immediate postwar period, with the discussion equally divided between the period prior to the outbreak of full-scale war in Indochina in December 1946 and the interval running from that point to 1949. Beginning at the end of WWII, chapter three side-tracks momentarily to provide the reader with a basic understanding of the complex strategic situation facing the Vietnamese, as the French moved to retake Indochina after WWII. Having done this, chapter four then shows how the Vietnamese responded to French actions in terms of expanding their military and diplomatic activities in Thailand during the same period. Chapter five focuses on the role played by Vietnamese representatives in Bangkok in the creation of the Southeast Asia League. This discussion serves as a vehicle to understanding better how Thailand became a key diplomatic outlet for the Ho Chi Minh-led government following the outbreak of war in Indochina. The last chapter examines Thailand's military significance to the Vietnamese between 1947 and 1949. The first part of this chapter deals with the period prior to the November 1947 military coup in Bangkok, when the conditions for Vietnamese resistance operations were most favourable. The second section shows that while Phibun's return to power in 1948 changed the rules guiding the operation of Thai-based Vietnamese programmes, Thailand nonetheless remained a key link to the Vietnamese until 1949. In this year, Thailand's importance effectively came to an end as Phibun began to crack-down stringently on Vietnamese activities in Thailand and the victory of the Chinese Communists opened more important northern bases and provided the Vietnamese with key access to Chinese diplomatic and military support

    An Anthropology of Intellectual Exchange: Interactions, Transactions and Ethics in Asia and Beyond

    Get PDF
    Dialogues, encounters and interactions through which particular ways of knowing, understanding and thinking about the world are forged lie at the centre of anthropology. Such ‘intellectual exchange’ is also central to anthropologists’ own professional practice: from their interactions with research participants and modes of pedagogy to their engagements with each other and scholars from adjacent disciplines. This collection of essays explores how such processes might best be studied cross-culturally. Foregrounding the diverse interactions, ethical reasoning, and intellectual lives of people from across the continent of Asia, the volume develops an anthropology of intellectual exchange itself

    Looking for Asian connections during the colonial period: reconfiguring from the “inside” and “outside”

    No full text
    April 2006 It is rare in international relations and colonial studies to talk about Asian connections during the colonial period. Colonial history tends to concentrate on a specific colonial state or on the relationship between the “coloniser” and the “colonised”. Most international historians also focus on the colonial states during this period, which were the sovereign entities at the time (the Dutch Indies or French Indochina). They then fast forward to 1945 to resume Asia’s part of the st..

    L'Indochine repensĂ©e par les « Indochinois » : Pham QĂčynh et les deux dĂ©bats de 1931 sur l'immigration, le fĂ©dĂ©ralisme et la rĂ©alitĂ© de l'Indochine

    The French educative policy in Indochina isn't well known, even though some of the teachers were really devoted for this « Ă©ducative mission ». Louis Manipoud was one of these men. He spent more than thirty years in Cambodia, he was passionnated by the Cambodian culture and language. At first, he was a teacher, then he was an inspector of the primary schools, he was answerable for the modernization of the traditional teaching in the pagoda schools. This reform permitted for a lot of people to access to the knowledge. But this story doesn't describe only the life of an uncommon man, because we can discover all the French colonial atmosphere. Manipoud show us this univers with humour and sincerity.Si l'on accepte facilement la rĂ©alitĂ© de l'« IndonĂ©sie » sur la carte aujourd'hui, on a plus de difficultĂ© Ă  imaginer une nation « indochinoise » sur la pĂ©ninsule sud-est asiatique. Et pourtant, dans les annĂ©es trente, la question de la rĂ©alitĂ© de l'« Indochine » comme un aboutissement dans l'Ă©volution Ă©tatique des possessions françaises Ă©tait un sujet vivement discutĂ© par beaucoup de Vietnamiens, Laotiens et Cambodgiens. A travers deux dĂ©bats inĂ©dits publiĂ©s en 1931 et liĂ©s Ă  l'intellectuel bien connu, Pham Quynh, nous montrons dans cet article Ă  quel point l'idĂ©e de l'« Indochine » a tentĂ© plusieurs nationalistes vietnamiens de se penser indochinois et comment les peuples ethniquement non-viĂȘt ont fini par voir dans ce vocable « Indochine » une alliance spĂ©cifiquement franco-vietnamienne et non pas laotienne ou cambodgienne. Ce sujet se rĂ©suma dans un dĂ©bat entre Pham Quynh et le prince Phetsarath sur l'immigration vietnamienne au Laos et un deuxiĂšme entre Quynh et NguyĂȘn Van Vinh sur le fĂ©dĂ©ralisme indochinois et les limites gĂ©ographiques du nationalisme vietnamien. Dans une historiographie indochinoise toujours dominĂ©e par le « Vietnam », cet article essaie d'explorer les relations intra-indochinoises et surtout la ligne de fracture ethnique et culturelle qui sĂ©parait les peuples « indochinois » et qui continue Ă  poser des problĂšmes dans ce qui avait Ă©tĂ© circonscrit par l'« Indochine française ».Goscha Christopher E.

    Les rapports entre Asiatiques pendant la période coloniale en perspective : les reconfigurations intérieures et extérieures

    Avril 2006 En histoire des relations internationales et de la colonisation, parler des rapports entre Asiatiques pendant la pĂ©riode coloniale n’est pas chose courante. Les spĂ©cialistes de l’histoire coloniale ont tendance Ă  porter leur attention sur un État colonial en particulier, ou sur les relations entre « colonisateurs » et « colonisĂ©s ». La plupart des spĂ©cialistes en relations internationales se concentrent pareillement sur les États coloniaux de la pĂ©riode, constituĂ©s en entitĂ©s souve..
