Choreographing Cambodia marks a key advancement in the study of creative geopolitics, focusing on the complex interplay of artistic and aesthetic factors. By shining the spotlight on Cambodia's dancers, Rogers' scholarship masterfully illuminates the diverse gendered and sexed landscape shaped by contemporary dance and extends our understanding of the multifaceted relationship between national identity, tradition, and globalization. A must-read for anyone concerned with contemporary geopolitics.

Amanda Rogers has written a much-needed book that explores and interrogates contemporary dance in Cambodia and its local nuances. It is a pleasure to read Rogers' thick descriptions, to listen to the voices of different generations of Khmer artists, and to learn about their perspectives on traditions, tensions, and innovations in this modern form of individual expressions. In brief, this book poignantly captures, the making of National identity, self, and the body in motion.
