Little Cambodia, Growing Still Littler

This article tells the story of Cambodiam immigrants who came to America and settled in New York, many of which in the 1980s, after fleeing the repressive Khmer Rouge regime, which fell in 1979 and claimed nearly two million lives. Violence, lack of job opportunities and poor living conditions in the Bronx, where the main settlement was, has led to many Cambodians moving out of this slightly segregated environment to other areas of the country. A vast cultural difference to other nationalities was blamed for this. The majority of those left are the older generation or those in poor health. Second generation youth are looking elsewhere for education, employment and a higher standard of living.
