{"product_id":"cambodian-refugees-in-ontario","title":"Cambodian Refugees in Ontario","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe communist Khmer Rouge party of Cambodia was officially in power from 1975 to 1979. 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. \u003cem\u003eCambodian Refugees in Ontario\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJanet 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Janet McLellan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43575428382902,"sku":"9780802099624","price":49.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780802099624_422b27da-e588-496d-90bd-274fc1ba05ed.jpg?v=1727458689","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/cambodian-refugees-in-ontario","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
