Painted Stories: The life of a Cambodian family from 1941 to the present

Svay Ken

This book tells the story of the family of Svay Ken from 1941 to the present, accompanied by his own paintings. While a number of 'official' histories have been written about Cambodia from the 1940s to the present, this book instead offers an account from the perspective of an ordinary family as they move from country to city and struggle to survive under various regimes. The details important to such an ordinary life are often quite different from those highlighted by more general histories of the period.
