Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 1990: Cambodia, it has been said, has gone through the most radical social upheaval and transformation of any country in recorded history. From the overthrow of Prince Sihanouk, who ruled for 29 year, in 1970 to the victory of the Cambodian Communist Party in 1975, Cambodia suffered massive saturation bombing and an unusually violent civil war. It is estimated that half a million people of the seven million total population died. From 1975 to the end 1978 as many as another three million perished because of the brutal policies of the government, and spurred the civil war that has been simmering ever since. In this book, the world's leading experts on Cambodia and the politics of Indochina address the major issues facing Cambodia since the overthrow of the Pol Pot regime in 1978.

Book Synopsis Flooding and Management of Large Fluvial Lowlands by : Paul F. Hudson
Download or read book Flooding and Management of Large Fluvial Lowlands written by Paul F. Hudson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-25 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pressure on large fluvial lowlands has increased tremendously during the past twenty years because of flood control, urbanization, and increased dependence upon floodplains and deltas for food production. This book examines human impacts on lowland rivers, and discusses how these changes affect different types of riverine environments and flood processes. Surveying a global range of large rivers, it provides a primary focus on the lower Rhine River in the Netherlands and the Lower Mississippi River in Louisiana. A particular focus of the book is on geo-engineering, which is described in a straight-forward writing style that is accessible to a broad audience of advanced students, researchers, and practitioners in global environmental change, fluvial geomorphology and sedimentology, and flood and water management.
Book Synopsis Angkor Wat – A Transcultural History of Heritage by : Michael Falser
Download or read book Angkor Wat – A Transcultural History of Heritage written by Michael Falser and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 1169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book unravels the formation of the modern concept of cultural heritage by charting its colonial, postcolonial-nationalist and global trajectories. By bringing to light many unresearched dimensions of the twelfth-century Cambodian temple of Angkor Wat during its modern history, the study argues for a conceptual, connected history that unfolded within the transcultural interstices of European and Asian projects. With more than 1,400 black-and-white and colour illustrations of historic photographs, architectural plans and samples of public media, the monograph discusses the multiple lives of Angkor Wat over a 150-year-long period from the 1860s to the 2010s. Volume 1 (Angkor in France) reconceptualises the Orientalist, French-colonial ‘discovery’ of the temple in the nineteenth century and brings to light the manifold strategies at play in its physical representations as plaster cast substitutes in museums and as hybrid pavilions in universal and colonial exhibitions in Marseille and Paris from 1867 to 1937. Volume 2 (Angkor in Cambodia) covers, for the first time in this depth, the various on-site restoration efforts inside the ‘Archaeological Park of Angkor’ from 1907 until 1970, and the temple’s gradual canonisation as a symbol of national identity during Cambodia’s troublesome decolonisation (1953–89), from independence to Khmer Rouge terror and Vietnamese occupation, and, finally, as a global icon of UNESCO World Heritage since 1992 until today.
Book Synopsis Khmer Monk Education in the Thai Border Camps by : Peter Gyallay-Pap
Download or read book Khmer Monk Education in the Thai Border Camps written by Peter Gyallay-Pap and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study on the current conditions of monk education in Khmer refugee camps and the role of Buddhism in the psychological survival of refugees. The study begins with background information on the role of Buddhism as a centering force in rural Khmer society. The author notes that Buddhism was a primary target for destruction by the Khmer Rouge regime between 1975 and 1979. He examines the situation of education in the border camps, giving special attention to the organization of the religious life within the camps and the communication between the monks in the major camps. The daily schedules of the monks are presented, as well as the curriculum and quality of the monks education within the camps. Various international efforts to improve the educational situation for the monks are described. In addition, the study examines the lay devotee nuns. The author goes on to discuss the specific situation of the monk education problem in the three major camps: Site 2; Site B; and Site 8. The study concludes that international support for Khmer Buddhist Sangha in the border camps has become increasingly recognized as a way of addressing the psychological and social problems of the displaced Khmer. The appendices include: statistics on the Khmer Buddhist Wats in the Thai Border camps in April-May 1990; a report of the programme activities and proposals developed by the Khmer-Buddhist Educational Assistance Project (KEAP) with and on behalf of the Khmer Buddhist monks in the Thai border camps; an English summary of Ven. Hok Savann's three talks to Khmer monks and novices at the University of Massachusetts in January 1990; a background paper providing an overview of the history of Buddhism in Kampuchea; a selected bibliography in Western languages of Buddhism in Kampuchean and South East Asian culture and politics.
Book Synopsis The Psychology of Genocide and Violent Oppression by : Richard Morrock
Download or read book The Psychology of Genocide and Violent Oppression written by Richard Morrock and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twentieth century was one of the most violent in all of human history, with more than 100 million people killed in acts of war and persecution ranging from the Herero and Namaqua genocide in present-day Namibia during the early 1900s to the ongoing conflict in Darfur. This book explores the root causes of genocide, looking into the underlying psychology of violence and oppression. Genocide does not simply occur at the hands of tyrannical despots, but rather at the hands of ordinary citizens whose unresolved pain and oppression forces them to follow a leader whose demagogy best expresses their own long-developed prejudices and fears. The book explains how birth trauma, childhood trauma, and authoritarian education can be seen as the true causes of genocidal periods in recent history.

Second, the opportunities and challenges faced by Southeast Asian anthropologists as they practise their craft in different political contexts. Third, the emergence of locally-grounded, intra-regional, transnational linkages and practices.
