Download or read book Khmer Legends: Part III written by D&maz Baker and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2022-11-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Khmer Legends Part III is Dẻmaz's new collection of Cambodian folktales, one of which is the famous story of A-Lẻv. The narrative is about a boy born of poor and uneducated parents. At the age of seven, A-Lẻv already understood the meaning of being deprived of even the basic necessities of survival. He wanted to make a difference, not only for his parents but also for himself. From a teenager to an adult, his shrewd brain concocted mischievous, hilarious schemes to cheat people out of their belongings or to gain money so his parents could survive. He created trials and tribulations in doing so just to amuse himself. As years went by, he had a firm desire to educate himself by beginning to learn to read and write in order to deal with a high society that flaunted its wealth and status upon the poor and less fortunate. In the end, his humility and humbleness gained him more respect in the society that rejected him because of his low economic status.

Download or read book Khmer Legends: written by Demaz Baker and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2016-05-09 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Khmer Legends: Part II, the fascinating sequel to the 2009 Khmer Legends, author Demaz Baker further explores one of the most interesting places on the planet: Cambodia. Khmer Legends: Part II focuses on the folktales of the Khmer people. Though the country is very much a part of the twenty-first century, it is founded, as all countries are, in its traditional beliefs and superstitions. For Cambodian expatriates sent across the globe after the war and new generations of Cambodian in their homeland, it s important to remember their shared past in order to move forward. Grounded in research and reviewed by experts, Baker s contribution to the preservation of Cambodian culture will be a treasure for generations to come. Advancements in education and technology, the shrinking of the world s commerce and communications, and perspectives focused on the future usually push attributes like folklore to the side. With Khmer Legends: Part II, the structure of Cambodia will live on."

Book Synopsis Mon-Khmer: Peoples of the Mekong Region by : Ronald D.renard
Download or read book Mon-Khmer: Peoples of the Mekong Region written by Ronald D.renard and published by ศูนย์บริหารงานวิจัย สำนักงานมหาวิทยาลัยเชียงใหม่. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mon-Khmer project took a long journey before it was turned into a final product--the first comprehensive collection of articles on Mon-Khmer peoples of the Mekong Region. The project was started in 2001 by the first editor of the book, Dr. Ronald D. Renard, who unfortunately did not see the final product of his valuable work. During 1995-1996, Dr. Ron Renard, as the manager of the UNDP Highland People project, and I travelled to Northeast Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos to explain to representatives of ethnic communities the aim of the project and how the ethnic minorities, many of whom are Mon-Khmer, could be involved and benefit from it. It may well be that this encounter with these ethnic groups made him expand his intellectual interest to study them in addition to the Karen in Thailand whose history of integration into the Siamese state he had studied for his dissertation completed in 1980. According to my last conversation with Ron, it was during the time when he worked for the Journal of Siam Society in the late 1990s that he decided to embark upon the Mon-Khmer project which preoccupied the last part of his academic life.

Book Synopsis Cultural Property and Contested Ownership by : Brigitta Hauser-Schäublin
Download or read book Cultural Property and Contested Ownership written by Brigitta Hauser-Schäublin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against the backdrop of international conventions and their implementation, Cultural Property and Contested Ownership explores how highly-valued cultural goods are traded and negotiated among diverging parties and their interests. Cultural artefacts, such as those kept and trafficked between art dealers, private collectors and museums, have become increasingly localized in a ‘Bermuda triangle’ of colonialism, looting and the black market, with their re-emergence resulting in disputes of ownership and claims for return. This interdisciplinary volume provides the first book-length investigation of the changing behaviours resulting from the effect of the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property. The collection considers the impact of the Convention on the way antiquity dealers, museums and auction houses, as well as nation states and local communities, address issues of provenance, contested ownership, and the trafficking of cultural property. The book contains a range of contributions from anthropologists, lawyers, historians and archaeologists. Individual cases are examined from a bottom-up perspective and assessed from the viewpoint of international law in the Epilogue. Each section is contextualised by an introductory chapter from the editors.

Book Synopsis Wars in the Third World Since 1945 by : Guy Arnold
Download or read book Wars in the Third World Since 1945 written by Guy Arnold and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With nuclear stalemate holding the superpowers in check during the Cold War, violence proliferated in the Third World. Sometimes this took the form of colonial liberation wars as the old European empires disintegrated after the Second World War (Algeria 1954-1962 or Kenya 1952-1959); sometimes the violence was between Third World countries such as the Iran-Iraq War, and sometimes it involved the major powers directly: the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan. Certain regions – Central America, Southern Africa, the Horn of Africa or the Middle East – have been in more or less perpetual turmoil for thirty years and more. But whatever form the violence has taken –protracted guerrilla activity against the central government or short, sharp border war – the big powers have always been involved. They have provided arms to one or both sides, they have supported their ideological protégés and, more generally, have manipulated such wars to their own advantage. This book examines five broad categories of war: colonial liberation wars, big power intervention wars, wars between Third World countries, the special area of Israel and its neighbours, and civil wars.

Book Synopsis History, Buddhism, and New Religious Movements in Cambodia by : John Marston
Download or read book History, Buddhism, and New Religious Movements in Cambodia written by John Marston and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2004-06-30 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume showcases some of the most current and exciting research being done on Cambodian religious ideas and practices by a new generation of scholars from a variety of disciplines. The different contributors examine in some manner the relationship between religion and the ideas and institutions that have given shape to Cambodia as a social and political body, or nation. Although they do not share the same approach to the idea of "nation," all are concerned with the processes of religion that give meaning to social interaction, which in some way includes "Cambodian" identity. Chapters touch on such far-reaching theoretical issues as the relation to religion of Southeast Asian polity; the nature of colonial religious transformation; "syncretism" in Southeast Asian Buddhism; the relation of religious icon to national identity, religion, and gender; transnationalism and social movements; and identity among diaspora communities. While much has been published on Cambodia's recent civil war and the Pol Pot period and its aftermath, few English language works are available on Cambodian religion. This book takes a major step in filling that gap, offering a broad overview of the subject that is relevant not only for the field of Cambodian studies, but also for students and scholars of Southeast Asian history, Buddhism, comparative religion, and anthropology. Contributors: Didier Bertrand, Penny Edwards, Elizabeth Guthrie, Hang Chan Sophea, Anne Hansen, John Marston, Kathryn Poethig, Ashley Thompson, Teri Shaffer Yamada.
