Hundreds of web pages say ‘Khmer Pride’. Here’s one academic’s take on how young overseas Cambodians assemble their identity.
Theresa McGinnis: “Khmer Pride”: Being and Becoming Khmer American in an Urban Migrant Education Program (Journal of Southeast Asian Education and Advancement*).
“Khmer youth’s multimodal expressions are not only sites of identity work, but also of cultural innovation.”[Link]
Looking at What’s On in LBC and Seattle this week, it’s evident that overseas Khmers are not only sharing their culture but appropriating new components into the mix.
