Abstract

Prins Phetsaraths biografi viser hvorledes en specific ide om Laos og dets kultur blev dannet først under fransk kolonialisme og senere under japansk besættelse. I disse perioder blev Phetsaraths forståelse af en laotisk kulturel nationalisme forandret til en politisk og antikolonial nationalisme. Artiklen viser at en laotisk antikolonial nationalisme ikke nødvendigvis behøvede at være knyttet sammen med den kommunistiske bevægelse for at være 'revolutionær' og understreger vigtigheden af at studere ikke-revolutionære og ikke-kommunistiske aktører for at vi bedre kan forstå den komplekse proces der skabte moderne, postkoloniale nationer.
