Reviews

NorindrOs radical revaluation of Indochina as a fictive and mythic structure expands the scope of geographic and political concerns into the broader speculative sphere of cultural identity. Indochina becomes for him a repository of images, a space whose commemorative and iconographic character brings together literary, filmic and architectural forms of cultural evidence. Remarkable for its lucidity and finesse, Phantasmatic Indochina constitutes one of the finest contributions to the field of post-colonial and cultural studies.ONDalia Judovitz, Emory University
