The Montagnards and the State in Northern Vietnam from 1802 to 1975: A Historical Overview

University of Hull

Abstract.

This article provides an overview of the recent interactions between the highlanders of northern Vietnamand the successive powers that controlled the state between 1802 and 1975: Imperial Vietnam until 1883, the French colonial state until 1954, and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam after that date. Ignored for a long time, courted during wartime, subject to strong acculturation policy since the independence of the North, these highland societies are facing a constant challenge to their cultural survival.
