Abstract
In 1937, Justin Godart was despatched by the Popular Front government to undertake a mission of inquiry in French India and Indochina. This article examines the objectives and repercussions of the Godart mission at a time of burgeoning Vietnamese nationalism and its repression by colonial authorities. It highlights the tensions between the Popular Front’s ‘democratic colonialism’—and the French left’s commitment to democratization more generally —and the demands of colonized subjects who were making claims to civil, social and political rights.
