• W1720222100 abstract "Book Review 89 Reflections of a Khmer Soul. Navy Phim: Wheatmark Publishers. (2007). ISBN: 158736861, 149 pp. Reviewed by SOPHIA CHHOENG Cambodians in the United States largely emigrated in a single wave during the early and mid-1980s, after enduring four years of the Khmer Rouge’s communist experiment in which one to two million Cambodians lost their lives. Thus, many Cambodians in the U.S. have lost loved ones and are moving forward with fragmented families. In her self published book, Reflections of a Khmer Soul, Navy Phim offers a deeply personal narrative of a woman who learns to cope with being a “child of the killing fields” while growing up in America. Certainly, other works have addressed the individual experiences of survivors of the Cambodian genocide, most notably First they Killed my Father (Ung, 2000) and When Broken Glass Floats (Him, 2001). Phim contributes to this literature by recounting and addressing many issues relevant to those that are part of the Cambodian diaspora. The book is divided into seven parts. Phim introduces herself to her readers in the book’s first part titled Reveries and Memories. Here she describes that she was barely a week old when the Khmer Rouge soldiers marched into the Cambodia’s capital city and forced the evacuation of the city dwellers into the countryside. Phim notes that, “As a believer of what was written in the stars, I was meant to be born on that day, at that time, in that country, with that soul. A Khmer soul. A soul that has questions, a soul that needs to vindicate the actions of her countrymen and fellow human beings” (p. 6). Writing from her home in Long Beach, California, the largest Cambodian community in the US, Phim provides a brief and easy to read history of Cambodia circa 1960s, when this small Southeast Asian nation was seemingly caught up with the Cold War politics of the US war in Vietnam. Cambodia’s subsequent political instability contributed to the eventual communist take over by the Khmer Rouge, an ultra-Maoist group that sought to transform the country into an agrarian communist society. To carry out their plan, the regime forced the country’s population into the jungles and rice fields, often working its citizens to the point of starvation and death. Phim’s earliest memories, however, are of growing up in Khao-I-Dang, a refugee camp on the Thai-Cambodian border. These memories ranged from running away" @default.
