Buddha Is Hiding by Aihwa Ong
Tells the story of Cambodian Americans experiencing American citizenship from the bottom-up. This study aims to put a human face on how American institutions - of health, welfare, law, police, church, and industry - affect minority citizens as they negotiate American culture and re-interpret the American dream.
