"Peycam looks at how the journalism that came out of colonial Saigon became a powerful
tool for political activism, and a vehicle for mobilizing and unleashing popular forces.
The manuscript covers the evolution of Vietnamese journalism in colonial Saigon from
its inception (before 1916) to its transformation beginning in 1930, with the impact
of the Great Depression on the one hand and the onset of mass protest movements on
the other. Inspired by Habermas, the author argues that what contemporary Vietnamese
called the "newspaper village" journalism created an unprecedented public sphere in
which all sorts of issues could be and were debated. He also traces its gradual shift
from a forum for advocacy and debate to a vehicle for popular mobilization, as many
of those who became journalists saw newspapers more as vehicles for the expression
of opinions than for the dissemination of information. By looking at the links between
colonial capitalism and new possibilities for self-expression and nationalism, Peycam
illuminates the role of the colonial state in setting the parameters for journalistic
activities, subsidizing those it wished to use as its propaganda instrument and fighting
those it deemed inimical to its interests."--Publisher's description
