   Extractions: Cambodian music history A distinction must be made between "music in Cambodia" and "Cambodian music," for the former embraces all ethnic groups within the national boundaries while the latter is limited to the majority, Cambodians. The northern provinces of Rattanakiri and Mundulkiri include hilly plateaus which are home to the Pnorng (Pnorng), an upland Mon-Khmer speaking group, while in the southwest along the Koulen and Cardamom ranges are found the Kuoy (Kui), Por, Samre, and other upland Mon-Khmer speakers. Their musical expression emphasizes gong ensembles, drum ensembles, and free-reed mouth organs with gourd windchests. In the west, around the great lake (Tonle Sap) live Cham, Chinese, Vietnamese, and other lowland minorities, but the extent to which these groups maintain their traditional musics is not largely known. Cambodian music flourished in both court and village settings, some associated with specific functions, others with entertainment. In villages weddings are celebrated with kar music, communication with spirits is accompanied by arakk music, and entertainments include

   Extractions: The banyan tree grows throughout Cambodia. It may reach a height of over 100 feet, and as it grows, new roots descend from its branches, pushing into the ground and forming new trunks. The roots grow relentlessly; many of the ancient temples of Angkor have toppled as these roots have become embedded in the cracks and crevices between their massive stones. A single tree might have dozens of trunks, and it is often impossible to tell which is the original. Vietnam, by contrast, was well known to Americans. The cold war was raging, and in the eyes of the American public the front line of that war was clearly marked by the boundary between the communists in the north, and the noncommunists in the South. South Vietnam was perceived as the first domino; Cambodia was merely the next. The subtleties of history, the blurred lines of political fact and fiction were lost in the analogy.

   Extractions: Cambodian history Migrations into the mainland regions of Southeast Asia from the north continued well into historic times. The ancestors of the Cambodians came with earlier waves that followed in the wake of the proto-Malays. The Cambodians are closely related to the Mon who settled further to the west but of whom only small pockets survive in Thailand and Burma. According to conventional history based largely on Chinese sources, when the Cambodians arrived in presentday Cambodia, two powerful states had already been established there by people of the Malay stock Champa , controlling part of central and southern Vietnam, and Founan (Funan), sited in the southernmost part of Vietnam and most of presentday Cambodia. Founan was at the height of its power at the end of the fifth century A.D. Some scholars, such as Nasuruddin, believe that the court of Founan had Indian dance and music which spread to the other parts of the Kingdom (1992:2), but Chandler (1992:13ff) casts doubt on the reliability of the Chinese sources. It is believed that one of Founan's vassals was the Cambodian state of Chenla , situated in presentday northern Cambodia and southern Laos. By about the middle of the sixth century A.D., Chenla overcame Founan and reversed the pattern of overlord and vassal. About A.D. 627, Chenla completely absorbed Founan, during the reign of Isanvarman I who married a princess of the neighboring kingdom of Champa, and extended his domains westward until it bordered the Mon kingdom of Dvaravati (Cambodia 1969:104). Before the end of Jayavarman I's reign, Chenla was showing signs of breaking up. Civil war followed his death, and the country split into two parts: Land Chenla (northern part) and Water Chenla (southern part), and Cambodian power suffered an eclipse for more than a century.

11. THE TRAGEDY OF CAMBODIAN HISTORY
    THE TRAGEDY OF cambodian history Politics, War, and Revolution since 1945 DavidP. Chandler The Tragedy of cambodian history is a marvellous read.  
    http://www.yale.edu/yup/books/057520.htm
    
    Extractions: In this penetrating and poignant book, David P. Chandler presents the first full account of Cambodian history from World War II up to 1979, focusing on the civil war period and the devastating revolutionary excesses of the Pol Pot regime. Drawing on his experience as a foreign service officer in Phnom Penh, on interviews, and on archival material, Chandler considers why the revolution happened and how it was related to Cambodia's earlier history and to other events in Southeast Asia. "An important and valuable book that provides a rounded view of the political, social, and economic scene in Cambodia."May Ebihara, City University of New York "A learned, solidly researched, unceasingly lucid narrative history of one of the fiercest and bloodiest and most puzzling of all twentieth-century revolutions. The author gracefully and persuasively emphasizes, not so much the evils of Cambodian political leaders, as their tragic inability to master or survive the gigantic historical forces with which they had to contend."Alexander Woodside, professor of Chinese and Southeast Asian history, University of British Columbia "A solid and refreshingly objective study that provides a healthy antidote to the usually tendentious or simplistic accounts. This is a masterful treatment, comprehensive in its coverage and deeply probing in its analysis, that will give readers much greater understanding of one of the most complex and disputatiously interpreted of modern tragediesone involving—(both covertly and openly) China, the Soviet Union, and the United States as well as Cambodia's neighbors. Drawing on Chandler's own field experience, and extensive range of interviews, and many previously untapped archival materials, this study provides new insights as to why and how Cambodia's long revolutionary process took place and why its course has been so strikingly bizarre."George McT. Kahin, professor of international studies emeritus, Cornell University

Cambodian King Norodom reluctantly signs a treaty of protectorate with the French, which lasts until 1953. The movement for independence from foreign imperialism in Southeast Asia begins. Ho Chi Minh founds the Indochinese Communist Party. The French establish nineteen-year-old Prince Norodom Sihanouk as king. The Japanese occupy Cambodia during World War II. The war for independence in Vietnam begins as Ho Chi Minh's Viet Minh army fights the French. Saloth Sar (Pol Pot) goes to study in France. Sihanouk wins Cambodia's independence from France. Saloth Sar (Pol Pot) becomes leader of Cambodia's Communist Party. US troops arrive in Vietnam. Sihanouk ends diplomatic relations with the United States. Cambodia loses tax revenues on rice that is smuggled into Vietnam during the war. Sihanouk increases the tax on remaining rice supplies, which spurs a peasant uprising and the armed communist revolution. Communists seek to eliminate widespread rural poverty and the corrupt ruling elite. President Nixon begins an illegal secret bombing of neutral Cambodia that continues until August 1973 when US Congress stops the Pentagon.

    http://www.newint.org/issue242/simply.htm
    
    Extractions: All roads in Cambodian history lead to Angkor Wat – and Pol Pot was particularly conscious of trying to emulate the independent greatness that the temple city symbolized. 'If our people were capable of building Angkor,' he said, 'we can do anything.' Completed around 1150 and devoted to the Hindu god Vishnu, it remains the largest religious building the world has ever known. Legend has it that it was built not by human hands but by Indra, the Lord of Heaven, who sailed down to earth for the purpose. Actually its creation was ordered by King Suryavarman II, one of a series of Khmer monarchs, culminating in the most powerful of all, Jayavarman VII, whose preoccupation was with building monuments at home and pursuing the conquest of surrounding countries. The magnificent buildings we now see are legacies of the insatiable demands for forced labour and military service that these kings laid upon their people – and which had their twentieth-century echo in the Khmer Rouge. 2 Under French ‘protection’
