The Angkorian World delves into the rich history of Southeast Asia's largest ancient state, spanning from the first to mid-second millennium CE. Written by esteemed scholars, this comprehensive book combines evidence from archaeology, texts, and the natural sciences to introduce the Angkorian state, explore its structure, and explain its remarkable persistence over six centuries.
Comprehensive and accessible, this book is a vital resource for scholars studying premodern Asia. The first of six sections provides historical and environmental contexts, discusses data sources and the nature of knowledge production. The subsequent three sections delve into the anthropogenic landscapes of Angkor, the state institutions that shaped the Angkorian state, and the economic foundations upon which Angkor thrived. Part V explores Angkorian ideologies and realities, encompassing religion, nation, identity, and more. The final part examines political and aesthetic Angkorian legacies, aiming to explain why the idea of Angkor remains central to its Cambodian descendants.
Maps, graphics, and photographs accompany each chapter, enhancing the reader's understanding of the content. Chapters in this volume synthesize over a century of work at Angkor and in the regions it influenced.
