Modern colonialism and its legacies, state society relations and heritage policies
Migration of French seniors to Asia and the influence of the colonial legacy
Investigating the extent which French retirees have been influenced by colonial connections in their choice of migration destination, through a survey across Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and India. I posit that retirement aboard is linked to the notion of “aging in the right place” within specific environments offering lifestyles suitable to particular groups.
