Indochine, début de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. Confiée à l'Asile Saint-Joseph Nam-Phap, Juliette, trois ans, est la fille d'un père français et d'une mère indochinoise, une enfant métisse qui attend patiemment le retour de ses parents, qui commence à apprendre le français, et qui grandit finalement, tant bien que mal, dans un orphelinat soumis à la lourde discipline de l'institution catholique. Dans un pays déjà touché par la guerre et la faim, on vit chichement en ces lieux qui abritent aussi impotents et indigents. Un milieu austère, aux trop rares moments de bonheur, où la fillette survit d'abord, puis où elle se construit une personnalité pudique et résignée, aux contacts de ses camarades eux aussi rejetés en ces lieux qui s'apparentent plus à un mouroir qu'à un lieu de vie. Seul espoir auquel se raccrocher pour espérer surmonter les bouleversements historiques dans lesquels s'enlise peu à peu son pays natal : un départ, non un rapatriement, pour cette autre terre originelle qu'est la France... Roman autobiographique, Juliette du Tonkin a la force de ces oeuvres qui retracent les trajectoires heurtées d'êtres pris, malgré eux, dans les vicissitudes de l'histoire. Des hommes et des femmes qui ne sont pas extraordinaires, mais des anonymes qui, emportés dans un présent dont ils gardent difficilement le contrôle, tentent, malgré tout, de se bâtir une existence à l'abri de l'incertitude et du vacarme des exaltés. Dès lors, Juliette mérite d'être qualifiée d'héroïne romantique, enfant puis jeune femme qui n'aura de cesse d'échapper aux rets du malheur afin de se construire une vie où les inquiétudes laissent place à toutes les promesses.

For over a century French officials in Indochina systematically uprooted métis children—those born of Southeast Asian mothers and white, African, or Indian fathers—from their homes. In many cases, and for a wide range of reasons—death, divorce, the end of a romance, a return to France, or because the birth was the result of rape—the father had left the child in the mother's care. Although the program succeeded in rescuing homeless children from life on the streets, for those in their mothers' care it was disastrous. Citing an 1889 French law and claiming that raising children in the Southeast Asian cultural milieu was tantamount to abandonment, colonial officials sought permanent, "protective" custody of the children, placing them in state-run orphanages or educational institutions to be transformed into "little Frenchmen." The Uprooted offers an in-depth investigation of the colony's child-removal program: the motivations behind it, reception of it, and resistance to it. Métis children, Eurasians in particular, were seen as a threat on multiple fronts—colonial security, white French dominance, and the colonial gender order. Officials feared that abandoned métis might become paupers or prostitutes, thereby undermining white prestige. Métis were considered particularly vulnerable to the lure of anticolonialist movements—their ambiguous racial identity and outsider status, it was thought, might lead them to rebellion. Métischildren who could pass for white also played a key role in French plans to augment their own declining numbers and reproduce the French race, nation, and, after World War II, empire. French child welfare organizations continued to work in Vietnam well beyond independence, until 1975. The story of the métis children they sought to help highlights the importance—and vulnerability—of indigenous mothers and children to the colonial project. Part of a larger historical trend, the Indochina case shows striking parallels to that of Australia's "Stolen Generation" and the Indian and First Nations boarding schools in the United States and Canada. This poignant and little known story will be of interest to scholars of French and Southeast Asian studies, colonialism, gender studies, and the historiography of the family.

En 1894, Théophile, jeune homme de la bonne société provinciale, fuit la France après une violente altercation avec son père. Un siècle plus tard, Sophie, la narratrice, ébranlée par un secret de famille, découvre par hasard l’existence de son aïeul Théophile. Entre la grande histoire et la saga familiale, dont les non-dits pèsent sur le développement émotionnel des personnages, Les multipliants du Tonkin vous emporte de la France contemporaine au Viêt Nam. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEURE Sylvie Junod s’intéresse à la littérature anglo-saxonne, principalement américaine. Savourant avec délectation les prodiges des auteurs tels que Francis Scott Fitzgerald ou Robert Merle en France, dont les œuvres ont retenu son attention, elle affectionne particulièrement ce style où les personnages historiques et fictifs se côtoient. Dans le même ordre d’idées, elle nous propose Les multipliants du Tonkin.
