Revised and updated by Helen Jarvis, Christiane Lalonde and Nhean Lakhena In May 2002, a team of Cambodian and international researchers began a comprehensive survey, through interviews with writers, publishers and printers in eleven selected provinces, to take stock of the state of the publishing sector in Cambodia as a whole, and to detail the areas of Writers and Writing, Book Production, Marketing and Distribution, and Readers and Reading. In February 2003, a workshop at CKS’s Conference Hall gathered representatives of all sectors to finalize a set of recommendations. The project was conducted by CKS and Reyum Institute and funded by the Toyota Foundation. The report has been revised and updated in 2006 and is now available in English, French and Khmer languages. |

This work brings together scientific articles written by the author, including those published in international reviews or books, as well as unpublished documents, not all of which are easily accessible either in Cambodia or in western countries. The decision to publish them in one volume came about because of the lack of accessible material published about the cultural heritage of Cambodia's indigenous populations. Based on participant observation collected between 1994 and 1996, the description and analysis that results reflects part of what can be termed the "cultural memory" of the indigenous populations, specifically the Tampuan of Ratanakiri, a way of life which is now severely threatened. As with indigenous populations around the world, drastic changes have occurred quickly and the life of the indigenous people depicted in this book belongs to the past. Therefore, this book documents a crucial part of their history and disappearing culture. Price in Cambodia: US$ 13

symbolic and social implications that relate to it. Since ancient times,
building in wood has been a major trait of Cambodian culture; as such,
traditional wooden architecture represents a significant part of
