Between 1975 and 1979 the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia enacted a
program of organized mass violence that resulted in the deaths of
approximately one quarter of the country's population. Over two
million people died from torture, execution, disease and famine.
From the commodification of the 'killing fields' of Choeung Ek to
the hundreds of unmarked mass graves scattered across the country,
violence continues to shape the Cambodian landscape. Landscape,
Memory, and Post-Violence in Cambodia explores the on-going
memorialization of violence. As part of a broader engagement with
war, violence and critical heritage studies, it explores how a
legacy of organized mass violence becomes part of a cultural
heritage and, in the process, how this heritage is 'produced'.
Existing literature has addressed explicitly the impact of war and
armed conflict on cultural heritage through the destruction of
heritage sites. This book inverts this concern by exploring what
happens when sites of 'heritage violence' are under threat. It
argues that the selective memorialization of Cambodia's violent
heritage negates the everyday lived experiences of millions of
Cambodians and diminishes the efforts to bring about social justice
and reconciliation. In doing so, it develops a grounded conceptual
understanding of post-violence in conflict zones internationally.
