The Khmer empire, which once extended across the whole of present-day Cambodia as far west as Burma and north into Laos, flourished for at least 500 years. During that time, many thousands of temples and shrines were carved with intricate stone reliefs of immense size, complexity and artistry. The author of this volume presents a study of these "stories in stone", explaining each scene, identifying the main features of each narrative and locating all the major reliefs in Cambodia which may be easily visited. Sites such as Angkor Wat and the Bayon glorify, not just the gods, the Buddha or Hindu epics, but also the wars and battles of kings, providing an insight into the lives of the Khmer people.

Steeped in spirituality, rich in an architectural heritage that gave the world such treasures as the temple of Angkor Wat and admired for the creation of a sophisticated irrigation system, the Khmer have long been a source of fascination to us. Through hundreds of superb photographs and insightful text, this impressive volume explores the evolution, development, and decline of this once-mighty civilization. Starting with the emergence of the Khmer or Angkor Civilization that came into existence during the period from 802 to 1431 A.D., Stefano Vecchio traces the history, outlining the milestones and shedding new light on the beliefs, politics, scientific developments, and artistic efforts of the Khmer.

When a tribunal was formed in 2006 to address the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge, many expected the Cambodian model for victim empowerment to open a new path for international judiciary initiatives. However, the local reality of the justice intervention has been more complicated.Rather than joining the success-or-failure debate about the court, this volume pays special attention to how the trials are perceived locally. Inclinations in institutional design, favored or excluded political agendas, mismatched values between experts and locals, and unexpected local meaning-making all flow into the current context in Cambodia. Through critical analysis by authors with on-the-ground experience, this collection―the first to address the tribunal through a sociological framework―provides insight into the tension between the global justice regime and local societal context.

Book I is the most comprehensive and detailed study of the origins of the Khmer civilization available. It describes how Chenla -- a state under the vassalage of Funan -- came to conquer its master state, before ultimately splitting into two kingdoms known as Land and Water Chenla in 707 CE. Near the end of the 8th century, the Maharaja of Srivijaya (Java) invaded Water Chenla, beheaded the Chenla king, and subjugated the land. Later, Jayavarman II would emerge as the Khmer leader who led his land to declare independence from Java. The kingdom prospered and expanded to the north to found Angkor in the Kambuja Period, replacing Chenla as the dominant state in the region.From 1100-1200 CE, Angkor reached its zenith under the reigns of Suryavarman II, the builder of Angkor Wat, and Jayavarman VII, the builder of Bayon. The book examines prominent roles played by the sacerdotal families (Brahmapurohita); examines the origins and meaning of the word Chenla; details the multi-century odyssey of the Emerald Buddha; considers the crucial role played by Neak Ta Khleang Moeung; the identity of the Leper king; the origin of Ponhea Yat; the rise and fall of Sdach Kân; as well as hundreds of related topics such as how Angkor Wat was built according to the Indian cosmology of the Yuga periods, and the explanation for the Khmer lunisolar calendar system.The emergence of the Siamese capital of Ayutthaya brought economic and military challenges to Angkor, ultimately leading to the fall of Angkor, which is examined in detail. Aggression between Ayutthaya and Angkor pushed the Khmer kings to relocate their capitals farther south and east, leading to the Longvek period of Khmer history.Book I covers every significant Cambodian historical event, place, temple and person from the 1st century to 1595 CE, supplemented by detailed genealogical charts, photos, diagrams, appendices, references, bibliography and full index.

In the early 1980s, tens of thousands of Cambodian refugees fled their war-torn country to take up residence in the United States, where they quickly became one of the most troubled and least studied immigrant groups. This book is the story of that passage, and of the efforts of Khmer Americans to recreate the fabric of culture and identity in the aftermath of the Khmer holocaust.Based on long-term research among Cambodians residing in metropolitan Boston, this rich ethnography provides a vivid portrait of the challenges facing Khmer American culture as seen from the perspective of elders attempting to preserve Khmer Buddhism in a deeply unfamiliar world. The study highlights the tensions and ambivalences of Khmer socialization, with particular emphasis on Khmer conceptions of personhood, morality, and sexuality. Nancy J. Smith-Hefner considers how this cultural heritage influences the performance of Khmer children in American schools and, ultimately, determines Khmer engagement with American culture.

The Khmer Empire of Cambodia which flourished from the 9th to the 15th century, gave birth to some of the world's richest works of art and architecture.

This is an account of that empire, which gave birth to some of the world's richest works of art and architecture.

Book II is the most comprehensive and detailed study of Khmer civilization available, from 1595 CE to the Contemporary Period. Even after the fall of Angkor, the kingdom remained relatively strong until the Ayutthayan King Naresuan conquered Longvek in 1594. When his armies returned to Ayutthaya, they did permanent damage to Cambodia by forcibly taking Khmer craftsmen and scholars, leaders of many great Khmer families, and all the Khmer treasures including sacred manuscripts, chronicles, and records of laws, customs and traditions.In the centuries that followed, the threat from Siamese hegemony continued growing until King Norodom petitioned France for protection.The French Protectorate Period began in 1863, but transformed into the French Colonial Period as controls increased. Finally, King Sihanouk succeeded in gaining independence for Cambodia on 9 November 1953.Book II details how ancient relationships between Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam evolved in the modern era. The book examines how Cambodia lost Kampuchea Krom/Cochinchina, how the Khmer people were forced to build the Vinh Te canal, and how Thailand and Vietnam used Cambodia as the battlefield to prop up Khmer monarchs that they controlled. Finally, we examine the 20th century birth of the Khmer communist party, the central issues of Pol Pot's elimination of his communist comrades in the context of the war that ensued, and the complex regime changes between the Khmer Republic, Democratic Kampuchea (i.e. the Khmer Rouge), the People's Republic of Kampuchea under Vietnamese occupation, and the current Kingdom of Cambodia.Book II is supplemented with nearly one hundred color tables, charts, photos and diagrams, references, bibliography and full index.
