Topics will range from the 600-year-old Angkorean civilization, Buddhism, and French colonialism, to the American secret bombing during the Vietnam war, the Khmer Rouge genocide, the UNTAC period, and the current revival of traditional music, dance and art. The course will also examine cultural and social effects on individuals and families, in Cambodia and in the Cambodian-American community, of 40 years of civil war.
