Dr. Y-Dang Troeung was a brilliant and resoundin g scholar in critical refugee studies\, transnational Asian literatures\, t ranspacific Cold War studies\, and critical disability studies. At the core of Dr. Troeung’s work was a fierce commitment to the lived experiences of refugee communities\, and\, in her words\, to “excavating and animating the subjugated knowledges of Cambodian people and Cambodian refugees.” Her fir st academic monograph\, Refugee Lifeworlds: The Afterlife of the Cold War in Cambodia (Temple Univers ity Press)\, was published in August 2022. It beautifully weaves familial a nd personal narratives with rigorous critique in order to examine the after life of the Cold War in Cambodia.
