Their landing was widely documented in newspapers, with photographs of the prime minister shaking Troeung's father's hand and patting baby Y-Dang's head. Troeung became a literal poster child for the benevolence of the Canadian refugee project. She returns to this moment forty years later in her arresting memoir \u003ci\u003eLandbridge\u003c\/i\u003e, where she explores the tension between that public narrative of happy \"arrival,\" and the multiple, often hidden truths of what happened to her family. In precise, beautiful prose, Troeung moves back and forth in time to tell stories about her parents and two brothers who lived through the Cambodian genocide, about the lives of her grandparents and extended family, about her own childhood in the refugee camps and in rural Ontario, and eventually about her young son's illness and her own diagnosis with a terminal disease. Throughout this brilliant and astonishing book, Troeung looks with bracing clarity at refugee existence and dares to imagine a better future, with love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eY-Dang Troeung (1979-2022) was Associate Professor of English Languages and Literatures at the University of British Columbia and author of \u003ci\u003eRefugee Lifeworlds: The Afterlife of the Cold War in Cambodia\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 12, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44797627138150,"sku":"9781478031123","price":37.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/58FD4tkgQ19781478031123.webp?v=1771213886","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/landbridge-life-in-fragments-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
