August 30, 2022

Congratulations to 2020 Wall Scholar Y-Dang Troeung on the publication of her new book “Refugee Lifeworlds: The Afterlife of the Cold War in Cambodia” (Temple University Press)

Refugee Lifeworlds is a life-giving book, even as it dwells on war, genocide, and refugee experiences. Y-Dang Troeung has written a remarkable, moving, and courageous work that deserves a wide audience for its inspiring blend of criticism and memoir.”—Viet Thanh Nguyen, University Professor at the University of Southern California, and author of Nothing Ever Dies: Vietnam and the Memory of War

Y-Dang completed the final stage of her manuscript during her Wall Scholar residency.
