She studied at Cornell University, and has published multiple papers on the intersections of religion, traditional practices, and the politics of land, global development, and climate change. Using stories from the hybrid population of settler-farmers, loggers, and soldiers, all cutting new social realities from the water and the land, this book illuminates the contradictions and continuities in what the author suggests is the final tide of empire.Ĭourtney Work is Assistant Professor in the Department of Ethnology, National Chengchi University. Cambodia’s distinctive history of imperial surge and rupture makes it easier to see the remains of earlier tides, which are embedded in the physical landscape, and also floating about in the solidifying boundaries of religious, economic, and political classifications. Aragon, University of North Carolina DescriptionĪt the forested edge of Cambodia’s development frontier, the infrastructures of global development engulf the land and existing social practices like an incoming tide. “Tides of Empire is a provocative book that advances long submerged connections among state development, layered religious practices, and ecological or place-making endeavors in Southeast Asia.” “The book contains exciting discussions, especially for studying religion and environment…It is a provocative book that promises to reopen debates about state–society–environment arrangements in Cambodia both past and present and to enrich the anthropological study of human–nature relationships.” Recommend to your Library Available in GOBI® Reviews If you are a professor requesting an examination copy.If you are a periodical or other publication reviewing our content.ISBN 978-1-78920-772-9 $120.00/£89.00 / Hb / Published (July 2020)īuy print book Hb View Cart Your country: - edit Buy the eBook! $34.95 info on epub format Request a Review or Examination Copy (in Digital Format) Sign up for our email newsletters to get customized updates on new Berghahn publications.Ĭlick here to select your preferences Tides of Empire Religion, Development, and Environment in Cambodia Courtney Work See Related Anthropology Journals Email Newsletters
