Svay provides a remarkably detailed picture of individual villagers and of Khmer social structure and kinship, agriculture, politics, and religion. The world Ebihara described would soon be shattered by Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge. Fifty percent of the villagers perished in the reign of terror, including those who had been Ebihara's adoptive parents and grandparents during her fieldwork. Never before published as a book, Ebihara's dissertation served as the foundation for much of our subsequent understanding of Cambodian history, society, and politics.KhmersCambodiaSvay RiaeengVillage communitiesCambodiaSvay RiaeengSvay Riaeeng (Cambodia)Social life and customsSvay Riaeeng (Cambodia)History20th centuryEthnography.KhmersVillage communities959.604Ebihara May1546180Mertha Andrew1965-Ledgerwood JudyMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910796237203321Svay3801574UNINA
