Haydon Cherry is originally from New Zealand. He received a B.A. (Honors) in Southeast Asian Studies and an M.A. in History from the National University of Singapore. He received his Ph.D. from Yale University. He now teaches in the Department of History at North Carolina State University. He is interested in the social and economic history of modern Southeast Asia broadly, and the histories of Vietnam and Burma in particular. His current book manuscript examines the changing social history of the poor in French colonial Saigon by tracing the itineraries of six poor migrants (an orphan, a prostitute, a rickshaw puller, a poor Frenchman, a Chinese coolie, and an invalid) in the early decades of the twentieth century. His other research projects include an intellectual biography of Đào Duy Anh, a leading Vietnamese Marxist intellectual, and a social history of crime in Rangoon, Burma, during the 1920s and 1930s.
