Synopsis
Less than 16 years after the Khmer Rouge killed more than one million of their countrymen, the tragedy continues for some 350,000 all-but-forgotten Khmer refugees trapped in camps on the Thai-Cambodian border. Nowhere is the suffering more widespread that at Site 2, a bamboo slum where crime skyrockets and families wait for a chance to return home. Through the eyes of the refugees, this book looks at the experiences of daily life in a world of stubborn hopes and mind-dulling routine. Theirs is a camp where muffled booms of artillery shells echo in the distance, and where even the strongest spirits can shatter.
