Eschewing victimization narratives, these accounts provide vividly detailed descriptions of Cambodian refugees building new lives in the United States. Chan's introduction places their stories against the backdrop of recent Cambodian history, from the civil war through the bloody Khmer Rouge revolution to the Vietnamese occupation. In addition, Chan includes an essay on oral history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52523432378648,"sku":"9780252071010","price":16.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/not-just-victims-conversations-with-cambodian-community-leaders-in-the-united-states-paperback-softback-9780252071010","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
