Winner of the Comparative and International Education Society's
Globalization and Education SIG Book Award Cambodia for Sale:
Everyday Privatization in Education and Beyond details a
post-conflict society that socializes children into a world of
private rather than public goods. Despite the government's best
efforts since the 1990s to re-constitute a functioning system of
public services, life remains organized around buying and selling
virtually everything, from humanitarian aid to schooling and from
religious good deeds to irrigation. Through an ethnography of one
village, Cambodia for Sale argues that efforts to rebuild Cambodia
after decades of conflict have resulted in various forms of
everyday privatization. Although this is most notable in the
education system, these practices of privatization can be found in
multiple institutions that constitute social life, from the
Buddhist pagoda to local government. The various efforts of
international development are as much at fault for this reality as
are the legacies of the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime. This argument
unfolds through the life stories of six residents of the Preah Go
village, who collectively depict everyday life through overlapping
village institutions, systems, and histories. This is an insightful
and valuable reference for scholars interested in educational
development, Southeast Asian studies, and comparative education.
