Taking a theoretical and multidisciplinary perspective, the essays
in this collection provide compelling insight into contemporary
Cambodian culture at home and abroad. The book represents the first
sustained exploration of the relationship between cultural
productions and practices, the changing urban landscape and the
construction of identity and nation building twenty-five years
after the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime. As such, the team of
international contributors address the politics of development and
conservation, tradition and modernity within the global economy,
and transmigratory movements of the twenty-first century.
"Expressions of Cambodia" presents a new dimension to the Cambodian
studies by engaging the country in current debates about
globalization and the commodification of culture, post-colonial
politics and identity constructions. Timely and much-needed, this
volume brings Cambodia back into dialogue with its neighbors, and
in so doing, valuably contributes to the growingfield of Southeast
Asian cultural studies.
