Asian American Ethnic Options: How Cambodian Students Negotiate Ethnic Identities in a U.S. Urban School
Chhuon, Vichet; Hudley, Cynthia
Anthropology & Education Quarterly, v41 n4 p341-359 Dec 2010
Research suggests that Cambodian students often endure conflicting ethnic stereotypes from larger society and their school and communities. We examine the ways in which Cambodian youth negotiated their ethnic identities in response to these stereotypes and argue that Cambodian students adopted, rejected, and affirmed certain ethnic identities in relation to perceived advantages associated with different labels across varying school contexts. (Contains 9 notes.)
