Grace after Genocide is the first comprehensive ethnography of
Cambodian refugees, charting their struggle to transition from life
in agrarian Cambodia to survival in post-industrial America, while
maintaining their identities as Cambodians. The ethnography
contrasts the lives of refugees who arrived in America after 1975,
with their focus on Khmer traditions, values, and relations, with
those of their children who, as descendants of the Khmer Rouge
catastrophe, have struggled to become Americans in a society that
defines them as different. The ethnography explores America's
mid-twentieth-century involvement in Southeast Asia and its
enormous consequences on multiple generations of Khmer refugees.
