RESEARCH FOR FUTURE PUBLICATION

 

 

Research and Monograph on Cambodia's Minorities. Ethnic tensions lay just under the surface in Cambodia, as the 2003 riots at the Thai embassy and businesses, and recent tensions in the Muslim community over Wahhabi Islam factions' attempts to "convert" the traditional Cham Muslim populations have demonstrated. We are proposing a two-year

 

project that will examine the history of Cambodia's diverse ethnic communities, their treatment under the Khmer Rouge regime (the Vietnamese and Muslims in particular were treated brutally), and their status today.  It will explore ethnic identity, ethnic relations, and the legal-political treatment of minorities in Cambodia, including the Cham, Thai, Vietnamese, Laotians, Chinese, Burmese, and Hill Tribes.

 

Funding is being provided by the Swedish Government and USAID.
