Description

Explore the fascinating history of colonial Asia through the eyes of an enigmatic figure. This Routledge study examines the life and work of Alfred Raquez, a man who appeared in Indochina in 1898 claiming to be a writer traveling to escape personal sorrows in France. Through his thousands of pages of detailed travel accounts, readers gain a unique window into the European presence in the Far East during the fin de siecle. This academic work follows Raquez as he journeys far into the Zomia of upland Southeast Asia, a peripheral zone inhabited by people living beyond official state power. From the nightlife of Shanghai to the remote regions of Indochina, this book provides a deep look at the social and cultural landscapes of the era. It is an essential read for those interested in the history of France, Southeast Asian studies, and the complex narratives of early 20th-century travel writing.
