Book Review

Survivors: Cambodian Refugees in the United States. By Sucheng Chan. (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2004. xxx, 337 pp. Cloth, $45.00, ISBN 0-252-02920-8. Paper, $25.00, ISBN 0-252-07179-4.)
Cambodians have suffered as few people have in recent memory. From 1970 to 1975 a brutal civil war killed 500,000 people (out of a population of fewer than 8 million). When the Khmer Rouge won, the "killing fields" began, and about 2.3 million more Cambodians died. When Vietnam ousted the murderous regime at the end of 1978, Cambodians fought another civil war (though of lesser intensity), in which China and Thailand, with American support, resuscitated the Khmer Rouge to contest the Vietnamese-installed government, the People's Republic of Kampuchea (prk). During these years, hundreds of thousands of Cambodians fled to Thailand and Vietnam. Only in 1993 did a United Nations election bring relative peace to the country.	1
Sucheng Chan, author of numerous works on Asian Americans, has produced an important multidisciplinary account of Cambodians who settled in the United States, most after the Khmer Rouge fell from power. Using social science methodologies, Chan examines the process of settlement, economic issues, negotiating cultures, family crises, and the psychological problems that Cambodian refugees encountered.	. . .
