  • Bazala. Sylvia, When We Left We Were on Our Way to the Beautiful City of Belgrade
    The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project SYLVIA BAZALA Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: February 3, 2014 Copyright 2015 ADST Q: Today is the February 3, 2014, with Sylvia Bazala. This is being done on behalf of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training and I’m Charles Stuart Kennedy. Sylvia, let’s start at the beginning. When and where were you born? BAZALA: I was born in Virginia, in Portsmouth. My father was in the U.S Navy at the time. Q: OK, let’s talk about your father’s side first. What do you know about the family? BAZALA: I know quite a bit because my father was very interested in his own genealogy, and I inherited most of his papers. He also wrote an autobiography. He was born in Georgetown County, South Carolina in 1911. He came from a family of rice planters that owned several plantations over the years. My father traced the family all the way back to Scotland before they migrated to South Carolina in the 18th century. The family became prominent in the 19th century when rice growing was at its peak in South Carolina. Dad grew up on a plantation called Belle Isle. When rice production declined after the Civil War, plantation owners turned to alternative ways of earning income. My grandfather, for example, hosted hunters who came from the north and paid to go duck hunting every year on the plantation, and he established a public garden for paying visitors known as Belle Isle Garden.

  • Writing the Postcolonial City: Phnom Penh and Modernity During Sangkum Reastr Niyum, 1955-1970
    Writing the Postcolonial City: Phnom Penh and Modernity during Sangkum Reastr Niyum, 1955-1970 by Siti Galang Keo A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Peter B. Zinoman, Chair Professor Kerwin Klein Professor Penelope Edwards Summer 2019 Abstract Writing the Postcolonial City: Phnom Penh and Modernity during Sangkum Reastr Niyum, 1955-1970 by Siti Galang Keo Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Peter B. Zinoman, Chair This dissertation examines novels, essays, films and songs of the Sangkum Reastr Niyum period, 1955-1970, to explore the layers of meanings Cambodians held of Phnom Penh. After the Geneva Accords in 1954, Phnom Penh emerged as the capital city of a newly independent nation-state, the Kingdom of Cambodia. The city under French colonial rule was secondary to Hanoi and Saigon, but once Indochina dissolved, its population exponentially increased. Phnom Penh was at the center of Cambodia’s road networks, its banking system, and was home to the best universities and schools. The many jobs and opportunities attracted rural migrants to the city. The population boom was one of the many ways Phnom Penh transformed. Norodom Sihanouk, then the head of state, made Phnom Penh the epicenter of government modernization projects. Under his watch, the capital transformed from being a marshy, provincial hub into an exciting scene of cosmopolitan innovation. Urban Cambodians combined ideas from Le Corbusier with traditional Khmer architectural details to design their “modern” buildings.

  • KON. the Cinema of Cambodia
    Preface The editorial team in front of DMC building / Neang Eric on”, the title of this magazine, means “film” in Khmer. In this magazine, we want to talk both about the past and the present of Khmer film. The Cambodian film industry so far has not recovered from K the historic catastrophe of the Khmer Rouge reign of terror from 1975 to 1979. After brief spikes in production around 1990 and in the last decade, the situation today is rather bleak. Most of the once over 30 cinemas in Phnom Penh are closed and have been turned into restaurants, hotels and snooker halls. Only very few films, most of them cheap horror flicks, are being produced today. It wasn’t always like that. The years between 1960 and 1975 are known as the “Golden Age of Khmer Cinema” today. In that short period, the small country produced almost 400 films. Some of the big stars like Kong Sam Oeun, Vichara Dany or Dy Saveth supposedly starred in up to 100 productions. Only around 30 of these films survive, remnants of a national cinema that was full of miracles and beauty: Kings with magic powers, giants, witches, flying horses, gods that walk the earth and a girl with snakes instead of hair are only some of the sensations that the film makers of that time put on the screen despite the very limited technical means that they had at their disposal. But there were also contemporary stories that show a surprisingly cosmopolitan and modern country. And there were the films by His Majesty King Norodom Sihanouk, one of the most prolific film makers in Southeast Asia, who tried to use the medium of cinema as a tool for nation building.

Grammar (Lessons and Activities)………………………………189 Classroom Activities (Plus Riddles and Jokes)………………………285 Appendix (More Information)……………………………………………..308 Introduction to EFC Made Easy Welcome to the EFC Made Easy teaching manual! Peace Corps is an American volunteer organization that was started in 1961 and has been in Cambodia since 2007. As of 2011, over 135 Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) have worked in 14 different provinces and in 70 different districts, with more to come. These PCVs work as English teachers in Cambodian public secondary schools in both urban and rural settings. PCVs are paired with Cambodian counterparts, or “co-teachers”, with whom they exchange methodological perspectives and share teaching responsibilities. This manual is the collaborative effort of numerous Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) who generously contributed the hard-earned wisdom they acquired through their experiences as English language teachers in Cambodia. The PCVs who have contributed to the creation of this manual have had thousands of hours of practical teaching experience with the English for Cambodia (EFC) textbooks – in addition to working with Khmer counterparts – thereby giving them close familiarity with the various challenges facing English teachers in Cambodian public schools today. Over the past few years, PCVs in Cambodia have developed numerous teaching materials and activities, and have generated fresh ideas for improving English education in the public schools. This manual is a compilation of these different resources. Full of warm-up and review activities, example sentences for difficult grammar, tips for teaching complex grammar, and MUCH, much more, the EFC Made Easy teaching manual is meant to be used in combination with the EFC books 4-6.
