History, Buddhism, and New Religious Movements in Cambodia (Marston and Guthrie, eds.)

John Marston and Elizabeth Guthrie (eds.), University of Hawaii Press, 2004

An edited scholarly volume on Cambodian religion published by the University of Hawaii Press in 2004, gathering essays by specialists in Khmer Buddhism and popular religion. Its chapters document the neak ta, the guardian spirits of place, ancestor and land tied to specific trees, stones, mounds and boundaries across Cambodia, and their coexistence with Theravada Buddhism in everyday Khmer religious life. Its strength is bringing together field-based specialists across several distinct Cambodian religious phenomena in one peer-reviewed volume. Its limit is that, as an edited collection, coverage of any one topic including neak ta is essay length rather than a monograph's full treatment.
