“The Country” of Cambodia of Princes Votha and Yukanthor

This paper is a study on ideas and thoughts about “the Country” of Cambodia which were presented in the two texts produced by the two Cambodian princes, Votha (1841 – 1891) and Yukanthor (1860–1934)in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Aims of Votha and Yukanthor in their texts, i.e.Votha's Proclamation (1885) which was written in Khmer for audiences who were the Khmer and various ethnic groups in Cambodia and Yukanthor's Deux civilisations (1900) which was written in French for readers in the French metropole, were to mobilize people to uprise and challenge against the French colonial administration in Cambodia respectively. In Votha's view, the Country of Cambodia was the Buddhist kingdom which had been destroying by the unbeliever Frenchmen. For Yukanthor, his civilized country had a thousand years long history which belong to the Khmer, the first civilized branch of the great Aryan family, which had been destroying by the wicked Frenchmen. Those ideas and thoughts were circulated in both colonial Cambodia, the French metropole, and Siam also. Votha and Yukanthor had captured, (re) interpreted, and exploited those ideas and thoughrs in order to counter, resist, and challenge against the French colonial administration in Cambodia in the last quarter of the nineteenth century.
