Cultures of Independence: An Introduction to Cambodian Arts and Culture in the 1950's and 1960's

---

In 1953, Cambodia became an independent nation state after 90 years of French Protectorate rule. During the late Protectorate and in the decades following independence, an emerging urban elite attempted to conceive, define, and build a 'modern Khmer culture.' The impulse for creating these new forms stemmed both from a specific will to define an independent nation, as well as from broader regional movements towards modernisation and development. Most of the work produced during this period took up questions of how to create forms that would be recognised as both Cambodian and modern. Today, traces of this work remain scattered, and only some participants survive. This volume documents and presents some of the way in which new forms of Cambodian art developed during the 1950s and 1960s and attempts to uncover the historical events and the processes of thinking which motivated the creation of these forms. The book includes in-depth interviews with surviving practitioners. The full text is provided bilingually in English and Khmer.
