Dear VSG,
My name is Ky-Phong Tran and I'm a first-time e-mailer, long time peruser. I'm a graduate student at UC Riverside and write about the Vietnamese diaspora. I am looking for resources about resistance movements centered in Paris, both pre and post WWII. The activities could be solely Vietnamese endeavors, SE Asian, or Afro-Asian. I've found some information from the discussion on Afro-Asian movements, but more resources would be of much help.
Thank you all; it's good to be here.
Ky-Phong

Look up works by Pierre Brocheux, Daniel Hémery, David Marr and myself. Also biographies of Ho Chi Minh and of Phan Chu Trinh. The French colonial archives are a rich source of information. If you are working on the Vietnamese diaspora, there were many Vietnamese in France who were not part of the anti-colonial networks. Many were sailors and workers (some since they were drafted for WWI).

Here is an additional title of interest in this thread:
La question coloniale dans l'Humanite (1904-2004), presentes et anotes par Alain Ruscio. Paris: La Dispute, 22005
This massive work in French includes cartoons. Also has contributions from Ho Chi Minh and contemporaries. It comprises articles from the french communist party paper.

Dear All,
There is also Phan Van Truong's Une histoire de conspirateurs annamites a Paris (Ou la verite sur l'Indochine) (Montreuil: L'Insomniaque, 2003) [see http://cgecaf.com/article350.html], with a preface by Ngo Van (which can be read at http://chatquipeche.free.fr/intro.html); this is on WWI.
See also Claire Auzias (ed.), Un Paris revolutionnaire: emeutes, subversions, coleres (2001); again with some contributions by Ngo Van --> http://chatquipeche.free.fr/Brochures/PR.pdf
On Vietnamese soldiers and workers during WW1 in France, the vast majority of whom were not anti-colonial activists, see Kimloan Hill's chapter in Viet-Nam: Borderless Histories, edited by Nhung Tuyet Tran and Anthony Reid, 2006.
