Description
For over a century French officials in Indochina systematically uprooted métis children--those born of Southeast Asian mothers and white, African, or Indian fathers--from their homes. In many cases, and for a wide range of reasons--death, divorce, the end of a romance, a return to France, or because the birth was the result of rape--the father had left the child in the mother's care. Although the program succeeded in rescuing homeless children from life on the streets, for those in their mothers' care it was disastrous.
