In this week’s episode, we sit down with Eric Tang, author of Unsettled: Cambodian Refugees in the New York City Hyperghetto. As an associate professor and former community organizer, Tang shares his deeply personal research on Cambodian refugees in the U.S., shedding light on the often overlooked struggles they face. From his time working with Cambodian and Vietnamese communities in the Bronx, Tang discusses the concept of "hyper ghettos," the economically devastated neighborhoods where many refugees settled, and how these harsh environments shaped their lives. He challenges the narrative of the American Dream, uncovering the complex reality of finding refuge in a country that is both a sanctuary and a source of displacement. Tune in for an eye-opening conversation about resilience, identity, and the true refugee experience.Supporting Eric Tangs Work:<a href='https://www.unsettledcity.com/'>https://www.unsettledcity.com/</a>
