The Bronx’s Little Cambodia as we know it today is an established and organized community: not just consisting of Cambodians, but also of other Southeast Asian American diasporas in the Bronx. But Little Cambodia was not always like this, nor has it always existed in the Bronx. This exhibit focuses on the complex history of Little Cambodia in the 1980s and 1990s, telling a story of intersecting histories of migration and city neglect. As an ethnic enclave built by a community reeling from the trauma of the Cambodian genocide, the initial wave of Cambodian refugees and immigrants to the Bronx faced unique social and psychological obstacles, as well as specific structural barriers to living, organizing, and building community in the Bronx.
