Abstract

In general, studies dealing with the link between French colonialism and nationalism in

Laos have focused on the anti-colonial or revolutionary aspects of Lao nationalism. This is

true for texts written by Western scholars as well as officially sanctioned books on Lao

history published in Laos. This chapter approaches Lao nationalism from a cultural

perspective, through a discussion of how a specific idea about Laos and its culture was

formed under French colonial rule in the period 1893-1940.
