{"product_id":"landbridge","title":"Landbridge","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn in, and named after, Thailand's Khao-I-Dang refugee camp, Y-Dang Troeung was - aged 1 - the last of 60,000 Cambodian refugees admitted to Canada, fleeing her homeland in the wake of Pol Pot's brutal Khmer Rouge regime. In Canada, Y-Dang became a literal poster child for the benevolence of the Canadian refugee project - and, implicitly, the unknowable horrors of Khmer Rouge-era Cambodia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Landbridge, a family and personal memoir of astonishing power, Y-Dang grapples with a life lived in the shadow of pre-constructed narratives. She considers the transactional relationship between a host country and its refugees; she unpicks the demand for 'testimony' and the conflicting demand for disinterested academic rigour; she delves into the necessary contradictions between ethnic, regional and national identities; and she writes to her young son Kai with the promise that this family legacy is passed down with love at its core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten in fragmentary chapters, each with the vivid light of a single candle in a pitch-black room, Landbridge is both a courageous piece of life writing and a bold, groundbreaking intervention in the way trauma and migration are recorded.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46316213502109,"sku":"9781802063295","price":75.95,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/7575\/1837\/files\/9781802063295_MPH.jpg?v=1741746093","url":"https:\/\/mphonline.com\/products\/landbridge","provider":"MPHOnline.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
