In the early 1970s, the Khmer Rouge had become suspicious of
communist Vietnam and began to persecute Cambodian ethnic groups
who had ties to the country, including the Brao Amba in the
northeast. Many fled north as political refugees, and some joined
the Vietnamese effort to depose the Khmer Rouge a few years later.
The subsequent ten-year occupation is remembered by many Cambodians
as a time of further oppression, but this volume reveals an
unexpected dimension of this troubled past. Trusted by the
Vietnamese, the Brao were installed in positions of great authority
in the new government only to gradually lose their influence when
Vietnam withdrew from Cambodia. Based on detailed research and
interviews, Ian G. Baird documents this golden age of the Brao,
including the voices of those who are too frequently omitted from
official records. Rise of the Brao challenges scholars to look
beyond the prevailing historical narratives to consider the nuanced
perspectives of peripheral or marginal regions.
