Texte intégral

1I would like to pay tribute to the memory of Professor Denys Lombard (1938–1998), without whom this work could never have been done. I remember his invaluable help during my fieldwork in North Vietnam, his unique and fascinating character, his scholarly work, and his passion for Asia. I thank all those who accompanied me during my years on the road. In France: Pierre Brocheux, Yves Chevrier, Jean-Luc Domenach, Alain Forest, Daniel Hémery, and Hugues Tertrais. In Vietnam: while I am not able to cite all of those who encouraged me with their friendship and advice, I would like to mention here Professors Phan Ngọc, Hoàng Cao Cương, Hoàng Văn Hành, and Bùi Đình Thanh, as well as Phan Thế Hồng, Hoàng Nguyên, Mai Nam Thắng, Vũ Thị Minh Thắng, and particularly Lan Anh. I am also indebted to everyone at the École française d’Extrême-Orient (EFEO) in Hanoi and the Institut de Recherche sur l’Asie du Sud-Est contemporaine (IRASEC) in Bangkok. I am also grateful to the Centre for Vietnamese Studies and the Academy of Sciences in Moscow for their welcome and support during my trips to Russia, especially to Vladimir I. Antochtchenko, Anatoli A. Sokolov, and Paul Noujaim; the Collegium Budapest in memory of Diana Masson, Ferenc and Vera Eros; the Nordic Institute of Asian Studies in Copenhagen; the Centre of Asian Studies in Amsterdam (IIAS); the Groupe d’études sur le Viêt Nam contemporain à Sciences Po/FNSP and the Maison des Sciences de l’Homme in Paris. This work owes a lot to the friendship, experience, and deep understanding of the Vietnamese reality of Christopher E. Goscha, Andrew Hardy, John Kleinen, Stein D. Tønnesson, Ben Kerkvliet, Boris Lojkine, Ben Kerkvliet, Jacques Ivanoff, Jérémy Jammes, Pauline de La Grandière, Cécile Le Minh Triêt, Robert Lacombe and Christine Hemmet. My heartfelt thanks go lastly to my editors (and their readers behind-the-scenes), Frédéric Mantienne in Paris and Paul H. Kratoska in Singapore, to Claire Duiker, and Serge François, currently in charge of the training bureau for overseas French at the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, without whose help my fieldwork would not have been possible.
