Each session will also include a grade-level aligned lesson focused on World History and Ethnic Studies.
The French colonial state wanted to make Hanoi a model of European modernity, which involved, among other things, getting rid of rats that infested the new sewer system. The French paid indigenous Vietnamese a bounty for rat tails, a program that the indigenous hunters transformed into a money-making enterprise at the expense of the French. The history shows the racialized economic inequality inherent in colonialism, the French colonial "civilizing mission," Vietnamese resistance, and the history of disease.
