Cambodian refugees who run afoul of U.S. law may be sent back to a country they may never have known.
“Exiled” is author Katya Cengel’s recent book about Cambodian refugees in California. In the light of current refugee policies, it’s instructive to learn how some of these residents face deportation and uncertainty if they commit even minor crimes. Hovering in the background of the story: the Cambodian genocide, in which millions perished in the late 1970s. Cengel spoke with KRCB news director Steve Mencher about the origins of her book.
