Description
Y-Dang Troeung's memoir, Landbridge, is a powerful and poignant account of loss, survival, and the complexities of identity. Born in the Khao-I-Dang refugee camp in Thailand, Y-Dang was one of the last 60,000 Cambodian refugees to be admitted to Canada, fleeing the aftermath of Pol Pot's brutal regime.
As she navigates her life in Canada, Y-Dang grapples with the contradictions between her host country's benevolence and the unknowable horrors of her homeland. In a deeply personal and courageous work, she writes to her young son Kai, passing down a family legacy built on love and resilience. Written in fragmentary chapters, Landbridge is a groundbreaking intervention in the way trauma and migration are told.
This moving memoir is a testament to the enduring power of love and family, and a powerful exploration of the complexities of identity, belonging, and the human experience.
