Dedicated entirely to the study of the societies of South, Southeast and East Asia, the Ecole Francaise d’Extreme Orient (EFEO) is the oldest and most prestigious French academic institution in Asia. However, there is surprisingly little general awareness of this society, beyond the facts that its headquarters are now located in Paris and its foremost area of research is archaeology.

This volume makes good this dearth of background information, and does muc more besides. A Century in Asia – the History of the Ecole Francaise d’Extreme Orient 1898-2006 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.
