Cambodia: Modern Literature of Cambodia: Transnational Voices of Transformation

In August we will read a book from Cambodia.

I, purposefully, looked for some more contemporary pieces from Cambodia, as the country is more than the Khmer regime and genocide, hopefully one of the books presented here will give us more inside into Cambodia as a country nowadays.

In August we will read...
Modern Literature of Cambodia: Transnational Voices of Transformation

Goodreads:
Modern Literature of Cambodia captures the poignant experience of Cambodians in the homeland and diaspora through fiction, poetry, essay and drama. Current themes of modern Cambodian literature include the quest for national and community 'development,' social injustice, and feminist writing that critiques the diminished role of women and the ongoing critique of arranged marriage in Cambodia. It is the first collection of modern Cambodian literature in English.

1. We’ll prioritize those who actually READ the book as we have only 8 spots max. in our home and this is a book club FIRST:)
2. If you want to join us OFFLINE, in Neufahrn, write me a message as soon as possible because we can only offer 8 spots maximum, if you'll write to me a couple days before the date there won't be a spot for you for sure.
3. We decided to keep the offline meetings separate from the online ones so this meeting will be only OFFLINE in Neufahrn.
4. It will be a cooking together kind of meeting - I'll research the ideas beforehand and we will prepare it together (it will be Cambodia inspired vegan friendly food).
5. If you want to join our Signal group please let me know - write me a PM with your number. In this group I'll be writing any updates needed for the meeting.
