About This Item
Chiang Mai.: Silkworm Books.. 1996.. vi + 331pp, index, wrappers a little worn, a good paperback copy. "These 19 essays cover a range of themes and problems as perceived by a leading student of Cambodia's past. They include studies of the leper-king myth at Angkor, post Angkorean normative poems, nineteenth century perceptions of the moral order, and royally sponsored human sacrifices in rural Cambodia in the 1870s. Other essays deal with aspects of the colonial period and the revolutionary era (1975-79). The collection closes with two essays, written sixteen years apart, that deal with what the author calls the tragedy of Cambodian history.
