Virtual Book Talk

Dr. Theara Thun, visiting research fellow at Stanford University's Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center, presents the first systematic-study of how indigenous Cambodian historical traditions interacted with Western colonial-era history-making. Challenging the idea that Western historical models supplanted local thought, Dr. Thun shows how Cambodian scholars synthesized, adapted, and reconfigured precolonial and colonial narratives, shaping new perspectives on national history. His work illuminates the layered intellectual legacies that continue to influence Cambodian and Southeast Asian historiography.

Kang lives alone in a big house. Through a glass facade, he looks out onto the treetops lashed by wind and rain. He feels a strange pain of unknown origin which he can hardly bear and which grips his whole body. Non lives in a small apartment in Bangkok where he methodically prepares traditional dishes from his native village. When Kang meets Non in a hotel room, the two men share each other's loneliness.
