During that time, the regime killed and displaced large numbers of its citizens and after its overthrow by Vietnamese communists, many survivors fled, to become refugees. Cambodian Refugees in Ontario examines three generations of Cambodian refugees: adult survivors of the Khmer Rouge, the children and older youth who accompanied them, and the children born and raised in Ontario, Canada.Janet McLellan uses ten years of ethnographic fieldwork, including extensive interviews, to highlight the difficulties Cambodians have faced in Canada. Lack of appropriate resettlement services combined with high levels of illiteracy, post-traumatic stress, single-parent households, and little urban experience or employment skills have made it difficult for Cambodian immigrants to rebuild their lives. Nevertheless, McLellan finds that the Canadian-born children of Cambodian refugees are achieving greater levels of educational and professional mobility while accessing fluid cultural identities reflecting both Canadian and transnational contexts. 606 $aCambodians$zOntario$xHistory 606 $aCambodians$zOntario$xSocial conditions 606 $aCambodians$zOntario$xReligion 606 $aRefugees$zCambodia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCambodians$xHistory. 615 0$aCambodians$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aCambodians$xReligion. 615 0$aRefugees 676 $a305.895/930713 700 $aMcLellan$b Janet$f1952-$0949750 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458376803321 996 $aCambodian refugees in Ontario$92146690 997 $aUNINA
