Abstract
From 1975 to 1979, in probably the most radical revolution ever, Cambodia was cut off from the outside world. Foreign and minority languages were banned, and all neighbouring countries attacked. Cambodia’s cities were emptied, its labour force press-ganged, its Buddhist religion and folk culture suppressed. Out of a population of 8 million, 1,700,000 people died or were killed. The Khmer Rouge regime that presided over this slaughter was led by Pol Pot, Secretary General of the clandestine Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK) since 1962.1 KeywordsMinority LanguageFrench RevolutionClass StruggleKhmer RougeBuddhist MonkThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
