Comprehensive and accessible, this book will be an indispensable
resource for anyone studying premodern Asia. The volume’s first
of six sections provide historical and environmental contexts,
discusses data sources, and the nature of knowledge production. The
next three sections examine the anthropogenic landscapes of Angkor
(agrarian, urban, and hydraulic), the state institutions that
shaped the Angkorian state, and the economic foundations on which
Angkor operated. Part V explores Angkorian ideologies and
realities, from religion and nation to identity. The volume’s
last part reviews political and aesthetic Angkorian legacies in an
effort to explain why the idea of Angkor remains central to its
Cambodian descendants. Maps, graphics and photographs guide readers
through the content of each chapter. Chapters in this volume
synthesize more than a century of work at Angkor and in the regions
it influenced. The Angkorian World will satisfy students,
researchers, academics, and the knowledgeable layperson who seeks
to understand how this great Angkorian Empire arose and functioned
in the premodern world.
