A Century in Asia: The History of the École Française d'Extrême-Orient 1898-2006

Dedicated entirely to the study of societies of South, Southeast and East Asia, the École Française d'Extrême-Orient (EFEO) is the oldest and most prestigious French academic institution in Asia. This book traces in detail the institution's history, starting from its founding in Saigon in 1900, right through to the tumultuous years of the two World Wars and several civil wars, to its present-day status. Also lavishly illustrated with material from public and private collections, depicting various aspects of the EFEO's activities and those of its devoted scholars, the book bears testament to the tremendous self-belief and commitment shown by the EFEO since its inauguration, a spirit which has enabled the School to survive and evolve over the last century, while retaining its long-standing and intimate relationship with Asia. The School remains to this day an essential port of call for students of all Asian nations.
