N2 - A biography of Prince Phetsarath highlights how a specific idea about Laos and its culturewas formed under French colonial rule and nurtured under the Japanese occupation andits aftermath. During these periods, Phetsarath's understanding of Lao cultural nationalismwas transformed into a political and anticolonial nationalism. While ultimately astudy of failure, Phetsarath's activities show that anticolonial nationalism did not alwayshave to be linked to Communist movements to be ‘revolutionary', and suggests the importanceof taking into account non-revolutionary and non-Communist actors - evenmembers of royal blood - in order to better understand the complexity that went into themaking of modern postcolonial states.
