Autor Panivong Norindr
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 ian 1997
Analyzing the first Exposition Coloniale Internationale, held in Paris in 1931, this title shows how the exhibition's display of architecture gave a vision to the colonies that justified France's cultural prejudices, while stimulating the desire for further expansionism.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Norindr's radical revaluation of Indochina as a fictive and mythic structure expands the scope of geographic and political concerns into the broader speculative sphere of cultural identity. Indochina becomes for him a repository of images, a space whose commemorative and iconographic character brings together literary, filmic and architectural forms of cultural evidence. Remarkable for its lucidity and finesse, "Phantasmatic" "Indochina" constitutes one of the finest contributions to the field of post-colonial and cultural studies."--Dalia Judovitz, Emory University
