Description
The book discusses how the French government attempted to mobilize the youth during World War II in Indochina, and how this mobilization had consequences for the region and France's relationship with the colonies after the war.
Youth Mobilization in Vichy Indochina and Its Legacies analyzes the causes and consequences of state-sponsored patriotic youth associations during World War II in French Indochina. Providing an historical account of the transnational policy process of youth mobilization during World War II, this book presents how officials transplanted French doctrines to Indochina with sensitivity toward the varying local political contexts and cultural traditions the French believed they had found there.
