How to Behave
Buddhism and Modernity in Colonial Cambodia, 1860-1930
By Anne Ruth Hansen

"It has become increasingly clear that the rational and
ethical religion called Buddhism is as much a product of the
late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as it is of the
time of the Buddha, more than two millennia ago. What remain
to be determined are the specific ways in which this Buddhism
was produced within and among the cultures of Asia. In this
fascinating study, Anne Hansen examines the case of Cambodia,
combining extensive research with insightful analysis to both
contextualize and complicate the category of modern Buddhism."
--Donald S. Lopez, Jr., University of Michigan
