Their struggle becomes primarily economic as they continue to negotiate new cultures and deal with rapidly changing gender and intergenerational relations within their own families. Poverty, crime, and racial discrimination all have an impact on their experiences in America, and each is examined in depth.  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e  Although written as a history, this is a thoroughly multidisciplinary study, and Chan makes use of research from anthropology, sociology, psychology, medicine, social work, linguistics and education. She also captures the perspective of individual Cambodians. Drawing on interviews with more than fifty community leaders, a hundred government officials, and staff members in volunteer agencies, \u003ci\u003eSurvivors\u003c\/i\u003e synthesizes the literature on Cambodian refugees, many of whom come from varying socioeconomic backgrounds.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e  A major scholarly achievement, \u003ci\u003eSurvivors\u003c\/i\u003e is unique in the Asian American canon for its memorable presentation of cutting-edge research and its interpretation of both sides of the immigration process.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cpre\u003e Contents Foreword by Roger Daniels Preface Acknowledgments Terminology 1.
