In this exclusive new diaCRITICIZE,\u00a0Julie Thi Underhill<\/a>\u00a0offers an in-depth introduction to the sometimes fraught relationship between Ch\u0103m<\/i>\u00a0Americans and Vietnamese Americans. She raises difficult questions, including why Vietnamese and Vietnamese Americans would rather forget the conquest of the\u00a0Ch\u0103m, the continuing existence of the\u00a0Ch\u0103m people, and whether or not the\u00a0Ch\u0103m can be compared to Native Americans. She also raises questions about relations between <\/i><\/i><\/i><\/i>Ch\u0103m and Khmer people, largely impacted (for better or for worse) by the violence of the Khmer Rouge. <\/i><\/i><\/i><\/i>She concludes on a hopeful note whereby Ch\u0103m<\/i>\u00a0Americans and Vietnamese Americans can begin filling in together the \u201cblank pages\u201d of shared history and memory.<\/i><\/p>\n Although Julie Thi Underhill has previously written for diaCRITICS about Democractic Kampuchea\u2019s Genocide of the Ch\u0103m<\/a> during the 1970s in Cambodia, this provocative diaCRITICIZE essay is the first essay published in English, since 1987, which exclusively centers the Ch\u0103m in <\/i>Vi\u1ec7t Nam and their communities and identities in the US.<\/i><\/p>\n This essay continues from its first installment, which ran a few days ago here on diaCRITICS<\/a>.
