  • Routed through Canada

    Helen Hok-Sze Leung, Y-Dang Troeung et al.ARTICLEInter-Asia Cultural Studies2019References: 7

    The series of reflections are based on a roundtable discussion amongst Canada-based scholars with research interest in transnational, postcolonial, migration and diaspora studies. Their reflections engage with key ideas from Inter-Asia Cultural Studies through the lens of their research practices and personal histories. Y-Dang Troeung revisits generational memories that are shaped by the “Cold War fraternity” of China, Cambodia, and North Korea t…

  • Organic and Inorganic Chinas

    Christopher B Patterson, Y-Dang Troeung et al.ARTICLEAmerasia Journal2019

    Cold War discourses reconceived of Chinese cultures as two Chinas, one of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), and the other of the “other China” (Taiwan), or “Greater China” (Hong Kong, Singapore). Today, this discourse has extended to reimagine Chineseness as either “inorganic” (signifying one-party rule and social engineering) or as “organic” (signifying colonial hybridity and laissez-faire capitalism). We explore three texts about Hong Kong—…

    Andrew Lam’s Perfume Dreams: Reflections on the Vietnamese Diaspora (2005), East East West: Writing in Two Hemispheres (2010), and Birds of Paradise Lost: Stories (2013) reflect the heterogeneous and ideologically scattered quality of Vietnamese American identities and identifications. Born in Saigon in 1964 to a father who served as a general in the South Vietnamese Army and a mother from a rural village in north Vietnam, Lam grew up with the co…

  • Iterations of War and Its Literary Counterforces

    Y‐dang Troeung, Y-D TroeungARTICLEMELUS Multi-Ethnic Literature of…2015

    The works of Cambodian American writers Vaddey Ratner and Kosal Khiev address two different yet continuous wartime contexts in Cambodian American experience that continue to be little understood by the public. While Ratner’s novel In the Shadow of the Banyan (2012) offers a new semi-fictional perspective on the history of the Cambodian genocide (1975-1979), Kosal Khiev’s spoken word video Why I Write (2011) responds to the contemporary Cambodian …

  • Human rights and the literary self-portrait

    Y-Dang Troeung, Y‐dang TroeungARTICLERethinking History2014References: 3

    This essay examines Vann Nath's memoir A Cambodian Prison Portrait: One Year in the Khmer Rouge's S-21 as a historical genre enjoined to Cambodia's contemporary human rights movement. Exemplifying Tzevetan Todorov's assertions about new genre formation, Nath's text functions as what I term a human rights literary self-portrait. While the literary self-portrait has been associated with a Western tradition of autobiography that chronicles the life …

    Vietnamese Canadian writer Kim Thuy – whose novel Ru won the prestigious Governor General’s Literary Award, in Canada, in 2010 – recently stated in a CBC Radio-Canada interview that her novel celebrates the women who “held Vietnam together” during those many generations when the country was at war. These stories, Thuy explains, have “rarely been talked about” in books about the Vietnamese diaspora, because women’s labor and sacrifice took place l…
