Cambodge
This study of Cambodian nationalism brings to life eight turbulent decades of cultural change and sheds new light on the colonial ancestry of Pol Pot's murderous dystopia. Penny Edwards re-creates the intellectual milieux and cultural traffic linking Europe and empire, interweaving analysis of key movements and ideas in the French Protectorate of Cambodge with contemporary developments in the Metropole. With its fresh take on the dynamics of colonialism and nationalism, Cambodge: The Cultivation of a Nation, 1860-1945 will become essential reading for scholars of history, politics, and society in Southeast Asia. Edwards' analysis of Buddhism and her consideration of Angkor's emergence as a national monument will be of particular interest to students of Asian and European religion, museology, heritage studies, and art history. It will also appeal to specialists in modern French history, cultural studies, and colonialism, as well as readers with a general interest in Cambodia.

Exile in Colonial Asia
Exile was a potent form of punishment and a catalyst for change in colonial Asia between the seventeenth and early twentieth centuries. Vast networks of forced migration supplied laborers to emerging colonial settlements, while European powers banished rivals to faraway locations. Exile in Colonial Asia explores the phenomenon of exile in ten case studies by way of three categories: “kings,” royals banished as political exiles; “convicts,” the vast majority of those whose lives are explored in this volume, sent halfway across the world with often unexpected consequences; and “commemoration,” referring to the myriad ways in which the experience and its aftermath were remembered by...
Chinese Capitalism in Southeast Asia
This collection examines the historically and geographically specific form of economic organization of the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia and how it has adapted to the different historical and socio-political contexts of Southeast Asian countries. Moving beyond cultural explanations and traits to focus on the process of evolution and dynamism of situated practices, it argues that Chinese Capitalism is rapidly becoming a form of ‘hybrid capitalism’ and embodies the interdependent of culturally and institutionally specific dynamics at local and regional level, evolving and adapting to different institutional contexts and politico-economic conditions in the host Asian economies.

Blacking Lady Penny
Another night in The Bull Pit and this one was looked really promising when the Lord of the Manor brought one of his fellow nobles and pretty wife down. Lady Penny was older than me but looked so naive and innocent. And she was to go in with the bulls alone....? The crowd were guaranteed the show of a lifetime but I had real doubts whether petite and refined Lady Penny could handle the bulls on her own! Extract: Lady Penny was about fifteen years older than me but undoubtedly a lot less experienced in the ways of the flesh. Yes, she was a little mousy but undeniably pretty. I imagined what she was like naked. “How much experience do you have with this sort of thing?” I asked her casually. She said nothing for a moment and then spoke with a cracked voice. “What sort of thing, exactly? I mean, what exactly am I signed up to?” I couldn’t help laughing. “Let’s have a look at you.” “Excuse me?” “Your body, Penelope. I want to see it! Stand up and take your dress off!” Adult reading material. All characters are over eighteen and consensual.
