In the 1980s and 1990s, ten thousand of these refugees arrived in the Bronx. Through the story of Ra Pronh and her family, who arrived in the Bronx in 1986 after spending years in refugee camps in Thailand and the Philippines, scholar and organizer Eric Tang (University of Texas, Austin) locates the Bronx Cambodians and their \u201cunclosed sojourn\u201d within a longer history of war and displacement. We mark the release of this critical new work of activist scholarship with a series of conversations featuring Tang, Pronh, and long-time community organizer Chhaya Chhoum (Executive Director and Cofounder, Mekong NYC).<\/p>\n<p>Free admission!
