Back To Top Since 1986, Angkor has enrolled more than 500 young people from the Greater Lowell area, ranging in age from 4 to 18. Currently, Angkor has approximately 70 young participants. In the book Fractured Identities by Jim Higgins and Joan Ross Sovann-Thida Loeung, an original member of Angkor, states that she was 15 when she and her family escaped Cambodia for the US. Two of her younger brothers became involved with gangs- one was jailed, the other killed. Back To Top BOARD SENIOR STAFF JUNIOR STAFF Ms. Vichenny Keo-Sam, President

http://members.tripod.com/~cssperspectivecsulb/lost.htm

Extractions: By Lina Saem The challenge most Cambodian-Americans face today is one of establishing an identity for themselves which is reflective of the two prevailing cultural values and norms that are key to the molding of who they are. Cambodian-Americans are beneficiaries of two cultures that often have diametrically opposing viewpoints in that Cambodian culture subscribes to the notion that a child's life is never really their own, whereas the American culture stresses the fostering of independence in a child and recognizes an adult child's capability to make a decision. Thus, Cambodian-Americans are forever questioning their own adulthood or more appropriately, the lack thereof. A second aspect of the differing customs involves the treatment of the elderly. For Cambodians, the adult children and other family members cared for elderly parents traditionally; public assistance was usually not called upon. For Cambodian parents, a child becomes a means of security in the sense that they will act as caretakers when the parents are ill and reach old age. In addition, they function as the "protector" in all aspects of life, ensuring that the health, happiness, and economic well being of the parents are safeguarded. It is at this juncture where we see an apparent role reversal in the Cambodian culture: the parent becomes dependent on the child.

http://www.phnompenhpost.com/TXT/letters/l1403-1.htm

Extractions: Replying to Craig Etcheson's criticism (Phnom Penh Post 17-30 December, 2004) of his book Pol Pot: The History of a Nightmare, Philip Short asserts that he had 'attempted to offer a balanced picture of the extremely complex mix of factors that underlay the murderous specificity of Khmer Rouge rule' (Phnom Penh Post, January 14 - 27, 2005). As Etcheson observed, Short uses the dubious concept of 'national character' to explain what the Khmer Rouge did. He states that they were the 'heirs to a culture' (p.282) and quotes Bernard-Philippe Groslier who wrote in 1921 that 'beneath a carefree surface there slumber savage forces and disconcerting cruelties which may blaze up in outbreaks of passionate brutality' (p.208). Furthermore, he asserts that Cambodian society continues to allow people to commit appalling cruelties (p.13) and draws a parallel between Khmer Rouge atrocities and rich men's wives nowadays pouring acid over their husbands' young mistresses (p.12). To support his speculations about Cambodian culture, Short quotes Alexander Laban Hinton. But he omits that Hinton wrote that Cambodian culture is not 'inherently' genocidal and that culturally distinct models of face and honor exist in most societies. But these Cambodian cultural models have not caused genocide in other historical periods. They only lead to mass violence within a certain context of historical and socio-political change. For genocide to take place, these changes must be accompanied by a violent ideology that adapts traditional cultural knowledge to its lethal purposes.

Extractions: As a young boy at school in Chicago, Nhol says he felt ashamed and self-conscious when his way of speaking English sounded different from those around him. It was his struggle to bridge the gap between he and his classmates, however, that inspired him to help other Cambodians make the most of their new lives in America. As the youth program coordinator at the Cambodian Association of Illinois, Nhol, 35, has devoted his life to working with Cambodian children in the Chicago area. Nhol, who sits in a well-worn chair wearing a faded black peacoat and jeans, says his main goal is improving the academic performance of the youth who work with him.

Comparatively researched in rural Cambodian villages and among refugees in the United States, this work is unique in its scope and detail about this American subculture. Significant challenges to traditional attitudes, beliefs, values, and expectations impact Cambodian refugees differentially according to generation, former family situation, and opportunities or barriers experienced in the United States. The horrors of the Khmer Rouge regime are reflected in Cambodians' frequent inability to adapt successfully to an alien environment. This work highlights the dynamic but stressful transitions currently experienced by this resilient people.

With this our children will know their place, they will learn how to express their opinions and thoughts without being fearful of the men and grown up alike. It's very degrading for me to witness some parents, well, MEN being so rude to their wives. Men should have respect for our women, therefore our daughters will learn to accept the change and be proud to be who they are and not having to wish to be a man just to be fit in or feel equal to their siblings.

He contributed so much to the cultural landscape of California. He is missed and remembered by the many who enjoyed and experienced his music. His children continue to carry on the family mahori ensemble, led by his son and apprentice Andrew. Pin Peat, the percussive classical music of Cambodia, has been passed from master to apprentice for more than a thousand years. Because this art form has no written notation, it must be learned through imitation and repetition. During the years of the Khmer Rouge "killing fields," pin peat almost disappeared though the death of perhaps 90 percent of its practitioners. Those who survived have spent the rest of their lives attempting to pass their knowledge and skill along to the next generation so that the art form will remain a lively and important part of Cambodian culture. Ponn Yinn considers his son Andrew as his "gift" to the future of Cambodian culture. The teen is Mr. Yinn's most dedicated and promising apprentice and they have performed together hundreds of times since Andrew began studying music as an eight-year-old with his father. Although Andrew himself is quite an accomplished musician with a long list of public performances to his credit, he realizes the importance of continued study with his father.
