Colonisés, déplacés, exploités. Les Travailleurs indochinois en Dordogne 1940 – 1948
par Pierre Daum.
290 pages, 35 €
Published by Élytis editions in Bordeaux, this 300-page book gives an important place to iconography, thanks to the exceptional photographic collection that Michel Lecat inherited from his maternal grandfather, Robert Bondier, who photographed life in Bergerac for half a century. Also presented are very rare photos from family albums of families of former Indochinese Workers.
As for the text, it is the result of a work of examining some 10,000 pages of archives that I collected at the Departmental Archives of Dordogne, at the National Archives of France Overseas in Aix-en-Provence (ANOM), and at the Diplomatic Archives in La Courneuve. The ANOM archives have long been considered lost. This book is the first to use them.
