Pierre Brocheux (1931-2022) is a leading French historian on Indochina, Vietnam, and Southeast Asia, both in France and internationally. This special issue of Moussons pays tribute to the researcher and teacher who trained generations of historians at Paris VII Jussieu University. The issue looks back on his personal journey through an exclusive interview (Claire Thi-Liên Tran) and discusses the privileged position that Jussieu held in Vietnamese studies, to which Pierre Brocheux contributed greatly (Agathe Larcher-Goscha). It provides an overview of his work in political, social, and economic history, with a particular focus on his contribution to the history of the South (Pascal Bourdeaux). The dossier also includes contributions on themes dear to Pierre Brocheux: the role of peasants in the peri-urbanization of Hanoi during the Đổi mới period is compared with his work on peasants in the Mekong Delta (Gisèle Bousquet). The history of women's elite in Vietnam between the two world wars (Bùi Trân Phượng) is part of Pierre Brocheux's history of elites, as is Gaston Phạm Ngọc Thuần's journey from the Cochinchinese bourgeoisie to the Communist Party (Claire Thi-Liên Tran). Finally, the account of April 1975 in Saigon and the two months that followed shows how this formative experience led two young people involved in an American NGO to work on Vietnam as a historian and journalist (Sophie and Paul Quinn-Judge). An “out of frame” article by Mathieu Guérin on thirty photographs taken in 1896 in Pursat by colonial inspector André Salles concludes this issue.
