"Dr. Su's book is first and foremost a book about stories we tell and share as a community. Too often Cambodian American stories are invisible or lumped into a stereotypical larger Asian narrative of the model minority. Cambodian Americans have seen their own identity reduced to two elements: the ruins of Angkor Wat and the Khmer Rouge. Voices of a New Generation breaks those monolithic images [. . .] What is so compelling about this book is that the stories are told in first person: it reads like an intimate and well-written monologue. Dr. Su provides a short introduction for each story, giving us enough academic information without the burden of heavy academic jargon. The book is not only for those interested in Cambodian American stories, but for all story lovers, all those eager to learn about the artists' personal journeys as well as their crafts."

Christine Su is a treasure to the Khmer American community. In Voices of a New Generation, Dr. Su and her interlocutors open up for us the lives, hopes, fears, and deeds of an impressive crew of Khmer American artists. In so doing, they bring the Cambodian experience in America to life. I am so glad I got to read this beautiful book.
