vietnam-travel-champa-img01Peregrination Into Cham Culture is a co-operative effort between the Viet Nam Institute of Southeast Asian Studies and the EFEO and was sponsored by the French Embassy in Vietnam.

The book, a complete image of the Cham people, was compiled using a combination of research and notes taken by tourists over the past centuries and, is meant to celebrate Cham culture, not examine it in an academic sense.

The book is divided into six sections: the ancient Cham people, ancient towers, ancient sculptures, ancient citadels, ancient steles and the Cham people today.

In the section about the Cham today, the authors provide readers with pictures of the life of the descendants of the ancient Cham culture. There are pictures of the traditional Ka Te festivals, weddings, and funerals, education and healthcare practices, and traditional professions like pottery, weaving, cultivation, and catching fish.
