SUMMARY:The Policeman as Urban Ethnographer:  Tracking Down the Poor in Colonial Saigon 
DESCRIPTION:
 Haydon Cherry is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department 
 of History at Yale University.  Originally 
 from New Zealand, he studied Southeast Asian 
 Studies (B.A. (Hons.)) and History (M.A.) 
 at the National University of Singapore before 
 arriving in the United States in 2004.\n
 This 
 talk discusses the value of colonial police 
 records for writing the history of the urban 
 poor in Saigon.  It explores issues of population 
 change and crimes of poverty in the city 
 during the colonial period; the relationship 
 that developed between French criminology 
 and physical anthropology; and the ways in which 
 certain police records might be fruitfully 
 compared to ethnographic texts.\n\n
